CPB
noun[ U ]
medical specializeduk /ˌsiː.piːˈbiː/ us /ˈsiːˌpiːˈbiː/
abbreviation for cardiopulmonary bypass: a method of keeping blood and oxygen flowing around the body using a special machine, used especially during operations on the heart: 心肺转流，体外循环
CPB mechanically circulates and oxygenates blood for the body, bypassing the heart and lungs.
Open-heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has become a relatively safe routine procedure.
Compare
heart-lung machine
Operations requiring the opening of the chambers of the heart require the use of CPB to support circulation during that period.
The CPB pump itself is often referred to as a heart-lung machine.
Some have argued that beating heart surgery may be a superior alternative to the CPB procedure.
