Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Management

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a medical technique used during heart surgery that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs. It pumps and oxygenates the blood, allowing surgeons to operate on a still and bloodless heart. This involves connecting the patient to a machine that circulates blood throughout the body while the heart is being repaired. CPB management ensures the patient's vital signs are monitored and maintained, balancing blood flow, oxygen levels, and other essential functions during the procedure, which helps minimize risks and supports recovery.
