A machine that does the work both of the heart (pump
blood) and the lungs (oxygenate the blood). Used, for example, in open heart surgery.
Blood returning to the heart is diverted through the machine before returning it
to the arterial circulation. Also called a pump-oxygenator. John H. Gibson invented
the heart-lung machine which was first successfully used in open-heart surgery in
1953.
