One of the most significant clinical medical breakthroughs during the latter half of the 20th century was the conception and use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to facilitate open heart surgery. This innovation paved the way for additional developments like extracorporeal circulatory support, ventricular assist devices, mechanical circulatory support, and total artificial hearts. With the ability to bypass both the heart and lungs, surgeons can now fix cardiac abnormalities, replace defunct valves, and bypass occluded coronary arteries[1]. Subsequently, there was a demand for people who could operate the new life-supporting devices when open heart procedures with extracorporeal circulation became a reality[2].
