Beating Heart Bypass Surgery

Traditionally bypass operation or CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) is done using the help of Heart Lung Bypass (CPB or Cardio-pulmonary Bypass) machine. This machine does what heart and lungs do normally in the body. It gives Oxygen to the blood, takes away Carbon-dioxide from it and pumps the blood to all parts of the body. This enables surgeon to stop the heart and make it bloodless. Complicated surgical procedures can thus be performed safely and with greater precision.

  1. Beating Heart Bypass Operation

  2. Traditionally bypass operation or CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) is done using the help of Heart Lung Bypass (CPB or Cardio-pulmonary Bypass) machine.

  3. This machine does what heart and lungs do normally in the body. It gives Oxygen to the blood, takes away Carbon-dioxide from it and pumps the blood to all parts of the body. This enables surgeon to stop the heart and make it bloodless.

  4. Complicated surgical procedures can thus be performed safely and with greater precision. However the CPB machine is not without its share of dangers.

  5. As the blood comes in contact with the tubes and the pumps of the machine, the body systems recognize it as a ‘foreign atmosphere’ and reacts to it.

  6. This reaction can create a variety of harmful effects on different organs and some of them can even be fatal.
