==History== [[File:1955 heart lung machine.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|right|A heart lung machine used in London's [[Middlesex Hospital]] in 1958. [[Science Museum, London]] (2008) ]] [[File:Cardiopulmonary bypass machine.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|Cardiopulmonary bypass machine used at the University of Michigan in the 1960s.]]The Austrian-German physiologist [[Maximilian von Frey]] constructed an early prototype of a heart-lung machine in 1885. This was conducted at [[Carl Ludwig]]'s Physiological Institute of the [[University of Leipzig]].<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Zimmer HG |date=September 2003 |title=The heart-lung machine was invented twice—the first time by Max von Frey |journal=Clinical Cardiology |volume=26 |issue=9 |pages=443β5 |doi=10.1002/clc.4960260914 |pmc=6654655 |pmid=14524605}}</ref> However, such machines were not feasible before the discovery of [[heparin]] in 1916, which prevents blood [[coagulation]]. The Soviet scientist [[Sergei Brukhonenko]] developed a heart-lung machine for total body perfusion in 1926 named the ''Autojektor'', which was used in experiments with dogs, some of which were showcased in the 1940 film ''[[Experiments in the Revival of Organisms]]''. A team of scientists at the [[University of Birmingham]] (including Eric Charles, a chemical engineer) were among the pioneers of this technology. For four years work was undertaken to improve the machine, and on April 5, 1951, Dr. [[Clarence Dennis]] led the team at the [[University of Minnesota Medical Center]] that conducted the first human operation involving open cardiotomy with temporary mechanical takeover of both heart and lung functions. The patient did not survive due to an unexpected complex congenital heart defect, but the machine had proved to be workable.<ref name="Dennis">{{cite journal | vauthors = Dennis C, Spreng DS, Nelson GE, Karlson KE, Nelson RM, Thomas JV, Eder WP, Varco RL | display-authors = 6 | title = Development of a pump-oxygenator to replace the heart and lungs; an apparatus applicable to human patients, and application to one case | journal = Annals of Surgery | volume = 134 | issue = 4 | pages = 709β721 | date = October 1951 | pmid = 14878382 | pmc = 1802968 | doi = 10.1097/00000658-195110000-00017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_pCEDAAAAMBAJ|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_pCEDAAAAMBAJ/page/n105 4]|title=Popular Science |date=1 February 1951|publisher=Bonnier Corporation|via=Internet Archive|access-date=4 April 2018}}</ref> One member of the team was Dr [[Russell M.

Bubble oxygenators have no intervening barrier between blood and oxygen, these are called 'direct contact' oxygenators. [[Membrane oxygenator]]s introduce a gas-permeable membrane between blood and oxygen that decreases the [[clotting|blood trauma]] of direct-contact oxygenators. Much work since the 1960s focused on overcoming the gas exchange handicap of the membrane barrier, leading to the development of high-performance microporous hollow-fibre oxygenators that eventually replaced direct-contact oxygenators in cardiac theatres.<ref name="Lim 2006">{{cite journal | vauthors = Lim MW | title = The history of extracorporeal oxygenators | journal = Anaesthesia | volume = 61 | issue = 10 | pages = 984β995 | date = October 2006 | pmid = 16978315 | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2044.2006.04781.x | s2cid = 24970815 | doi-access = }}</ref> In 1983, Ken Litzie patented a closed emergency heart bypass system which reduced circuit and component complexity.<ref>{{Cite patent|country=US|number=4540399|title=US Patent for Emergency bypass system|gdate=10 September 1985|inventor=Litzie K, Roberts CP|assign1=C.R.
