Study Notes
Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)
- A technique where a machine temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery
- This allows surgeons to operate on the heart without disrupting blood flow to the body
Heart-Lung Machine
- Another name for the CPB pump
- Responsible for oxygenating the blood, removing carbon dioxide, and circulating blood throughout the body during surgery
Cannula Placement
- The surgeon places a cannula in the superior vena cava or the right atrium to withdraw blood from the body during CPB
Purpose of CPB
- To provide a bloodless surgical field for cardiac surgery
- Enables surgeons to stop the heart while maintaining blood flow to the body
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
- A life-support technique that uses a machine to oxygenate and circulate blood outside the body
- Used for patients with severe heart or lung failure, providing a way to support the body while the lungs or heart recover
Role of Perfusionist
- Monitors and controls the CPB pump during surgery
- Ensures adequate blood flow and oxygenation to the body
- Adjusts the pump's settings to maintain blood pressure and other vital signs
- A highly trained medical professional responsible for managing the technical aspects of CPB during surgery.
