Cardiopulmonary Bypass

(CPB)

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a vital procedure during open-heart surgery that temporarily takes over the functions of both the heart and lungs. The heart-lung machine, a key component of CPB, pumps and oxygenates the blood while the heart is stopped or manipulated.

This machine diverts blood away from the heart, maintaining circulation and ensuring oxygen and nutrients reach vital organs throughout the body. By doing so, the CPB machine enables surgeons to perform intricate procedures such as heart valve repairs, coronary artery bypass grafting, or other complex surgeries. Its precision and reliability make it an essential tool for maintaining patient stability during open-heart surgery.
