Hello! Yes, there is a heart lung machine which is also called a lung heart machine, oxygenator bypass machine or pump oxygenator. It is used during an open-heart surgery such as bypass or valve surgery. The heart lung machine takes over the functions of the heart and lungs and it carefully stops the heart and drain of blood. Then the surgeons can operate in a blood-free surgical field without the interference of a beating heart.
