Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extracorporeal circulation, also known as cardiopulmonary bypass, is a surgical technique that involves diverting a patient's blood flow through a heart-lung machine during open-heart surgery. The heart-lung machine takes over the function of the heart and lungs, allowing the surgeon to perform the necessary procedures. CPR, Holter monitoring, and stress testing do not involve the use of a heart-lung machine.
