Heart-Lung Machine

The Heart-Lung Machine is a device that replaces the functions of the heart and lungs to perform chest surgery. During the operation, the device maintains blood circulation and oxygen supply to organs.

The Heart-Lung consists of two main components: a pump and a device for enriching the blood with oxygen. The pump maintains blood circulation in the body, and the oxygen enrichment device enriches the blood with oxygen to the required level.

To operate the device, blood is taken from the body through special tubes that are inserted into the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood then passes through the pump and is enriched with oxygen before returning to the artery.

A surgeon can use the Heart-Lung to perform a variety of surgeries on the heart, lungs, and large blood vessels, such as valve replacement, tumor removal, and heart or lung transplants.

The use of the Heart-Lung Machine allows you to shorten the operation time and reduce the risk of complications associated with insufficient supply of oxygen and blood to the organs. In addition, the device can be used to treat patients with heart and lung diseases that cannot be cured by other methods.

Although the Heart-Lung Machine is an important tool in medicine, its use has its limitations and risks. For example, it can cause complications in patients with lung or heart problems, and can also cause tissue and organ damage.

Overall, the Heart-Lung Machine is an innovative tool that helps surgeons perform complex chest surgeries and provide patients with faster and safer treatment.



The Heart Lung Machine is a device that replaces the functions of the heart and lungs during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and surgery on large blood vessels as part of interventions on the heart muscle (cardiac surgery). The name “two in one” is due to the features of the device, in which
