Abstract
Background: Cardio-pulmonary bypass (CBP) is one of the apparatuses used as an extracorporeal circuit. Extra-Corporeal Circulation is a procedure in which blood is taken from patient’s circulation to have a process applied to it before it is returned to the circulation. All of the apparatus carrying the blood outside the body is termed the extracorporeal circuit. Extracorporeal circuits include: apheresis, auto-transfusion, hemodialysis, hemofiltration, plasma-pheresis, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), cardiopulmonary bypass during open heart surgery and total artificial heart
Aims: The aim of this study is to revise the mechanisms of Cardiopulmonary bypass, its role in medicine, its adverse effects and how to prevent and manage them, so that, we can minimize the hazards that may result from using cardiopulmonary bypass.
Conclusion: It is the hope of all healthcare professionals that the incidence of harmful consequences of cardiopulmonary bypass will continue to decline and someday the risks associated will be close to zero. Until that day, research will continue and new methods will be tested to improve this already incredible machine.
