What are Tools Used for Heart Surgery?


There are Two major tools used to support heart surgeons while operating to maintain the body’s stasis:

  • A heart-lung machine is a bypass machine which used in open heart surgeries during the surgical procedures while the heart is stopped to support the body with oxygen, move the blood through the body and remove any carbons dioxide.
  • Body Cooling Techniques is an oxygen reducing process that is used to keep the tissues of heart alive without any damage until surgery is completed.
