AB Cardiopulmonary  bypass  (CPB)  is  a  form  of  extracorporeal  circulation  that  diverts  the  patient’s  blood  from  the  heart  and  lungs,  rerouting  it,  and  assuming  control  of  the  normal  physiological  functions  of  the  heart  and  lungs,  including  maintaining  whole  body  blood  perfusion  pressure,  oxygenation,  and  CO2  elimination  during  cardiovascular  and  thoracic  surgery.  CPB  allows  surgeons  to  operate  on  a  nonbeating  heart  in  the  setting  of  a  bloodless  field  while  maintaining  adequate  whole  body  tissue  oxygenation  and  perfusion.
