A member asked:
What do the doctors do in a cardiopulmonary bypass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pump: Cardio pulmonary bypass has been used for decades for cardiac surgery. Simply, it serves to perform the function of your lungs and heart while your heart is stopped for coronary bypass, valve replacement, or some other major vascular procedure. Your remaing bodily functions are not interrupted. It is very well tolerated in most situations.
