A heart lung machine does the work of both the heart and the lungs. They pump and oxygenate the blood during many different procedures including open-heart surgery. They are also called heart bypass machines or cardiopulmonary bypass machines (CPB). These medical devices are operated by perfusionists. These machines mechanically circulate and oxygenate the blood for the body while bypassing the heart and lungs to maintain perfusion to the other organs and tissues so the surgeon can work in a bloodless field.
The surgeon will place a cannula in the right atrium, vena cava, or femoral vein to withdraw the blood from the body. The blood is then filtered, kept at an optimal temperature, and oxygenated before its journey back to the body through an annular in an ascending aorta, femoral artery, axillary artery (among others). The blood typically pumped with a peristaltic pump, also commonly referred to as a roller pump.
