Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heart-lung machine is primarily used for extracorporeal circulation during open-heart surgery. Its components include a pump (to circulate blood), an oxygenator (to add oxygen to the blood), and a heat exchanger (to regulate the blood's temperature). A defibrillator is not typically part of the heart-lung machine, as this device is used to restore a normal heart rhythm during cardiac arrest.
