Case Summary
- Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a technique used to temporarily take over the function of the heart and lungs during cardiac surgery. This allows surgeons to operate on a still and bloodless heart, especially crucial in pediatric cases. Dr. Clarence Dennis performed the first experimental CPB operation in 1951, while Dr. John Gibbon completed the first successful human procedure in 1953. Dr. Walton-Dillay pioneered controlled cross-circulation, connecting a parent to a child to act as a temporary heart-lung machine.
