AN APPROACH ON THE MAIN HISTORICAL EVENTS IN EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION (ECC), OXYGENATORS IN THE WORLD, IN BRAZIL AND THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN ECC AND WITHOUT ECC

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary by pass (CPB) is the method that gives supports cardiac surgery, temporarily replacing the functions of the heart and lungs. However, despite being considered a gold standard, some researcher seven questions its use, due to its harmful effects. Therefore, considering that cardiovascular diseases remain among the biggest causes of mortality and disability in the world, being, therefore, a public health problem. The objective of this work will be to investigate the historical evolutionary process o cardiopulmonary by pass (CPB) in the world, in Brazil, as well as the oxygenators and the complications described in the literature in relation to CPB; highlighting the most important points. Thus concluded, with this integrative review work, that myocardial revascularization surgeries, with the use of CPB, despite the various deleterious effects, are still more used. Being that, myocardial revascularization surgery, without the use of CPB, the requirements beyond scientific knowledge require greats kill of the surgeon, being necessary that this new technique be tested in randomized clinical trials, that is, which is what most of there searched authors suggest.
