Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a technique in which heart-lung machine temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery. The CPB is operated by the perfusionist. During the heart operation, the perfusionist takes over the heart function. The perfusionist works in close relation with the anesthesiologist and the surgeon.
A perfusionist in front of a heart–lung machine (upper right) early in a coronary artery bypass surgery. A cardiovascular perfusionist, clinical perfusionist or perfusiologist, and occasionally a cardiopulmonary bypass doctor [1] [2] or clinical perfusion scientist, [3] is a healthcare professional who operates the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart–lung machine) during cardiac surgery ...

Duke University Hospital is a 1062 -bed acute care facility [1] and an academic tertiary care facility located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. [2] Established in 1930, it is the flagship teaching hospital for the Duke University Health System, a network of physicians and hospitals serving Durham County and Wake County, North Carolina, and surrounding areas, as well as one of three ...
Ex vivo lung perfusion, EVLP, is a form of machine perfusion aimed at sustaining the active aerobic cellular metabolism of donor lungs outside the donor's body prior to lung transplantation. This medical preservation technique typically occurs within a specialised machine engineered to mimic the conditions of the natural circulatory system .
The requirement of blood transfusion during open-heart surgical operations is almost inevitable because the metabolism must be continuously kept working through the peripheral blood flow. [4] Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a medical technique to oxygenate the blood and remove the carbon dioxide during the cardiac operation. [ 4 ]
Perfusion is the passage of fluid through the lymphatic system or blood vessels to an organ or a tissue. [1] The practice of perfusion scanning is the process by which this perfusion can be observed, recorded and quantified. The term perfusion scanning encompasses a wide range of medical imaging modalities. [2]
