Artificial Heart And Lung Machine May Restore Life To Clinically Dead
A new compact heart and lung machine described by Dr. Charles P. Bailey at the Ohio Chest Physicians meeting could someday revive clinically dead patients. Tested on dogs, it kept one animal alive 71 minutes by circulating refreshed blood. The device, built with a glass cabinet and a plastic pumping system, remains risky for living use and would first be tried on a patient who dies during surgery.
