The Present Status of Open Heart Surgery by Means of the Pump Oxygenator

T. SUNADA M.D.1 and K. INADA M.D., F.C.C.P.2

1 Professor of Surgery

A survey of the present status of extracorporeal circulation in open heart surgery revealed that the pump oxygenator has been widely accepted around the world, and various kinds of heart disease, especially congenital, have been cured surgically with a reasonable degree of safety. The film-type oxygenator, either disc or screen, is the one most commonly used. High flow rate, nearly equivalent to cardiac output in the normal circulation, is considered advantageous in total body perfusion. The combination of hypothermia with the pump oxygenator is still a debatable issue.
