天津市胸科医院体外循环科成立于1992年，历经30余年的发展，科室逐步壮大，成为全国大型心脏中心中极具特色和代表性的科室之一，也是天津市规模最大的体外循环专职医师团队，拥有较强的学科带头能力和博、硕士人才，科室在职人员共计13名。

　　科室目前拥有世界先进的SORIN SC/S5型人工心肺机4台、Maquet HL20人工心肺机2台、国内独家的汇康H5国产心肺机1台，SORIN XTRA自体血液回收机10台、Maquet体外膜氧合(ECMO)设备2套，配备动态静脉混合血氧饱和度/血红蛋白监测设备、空氧混合器等装置。承担我院心外科各病种的体外循环人工心肺支持，如冠脉搭桥、瓣膜成形/置换、先天性心脏病、大血管手术、心室辅助装置手术和心肺移植手术等，其中包括非体外搭桥和各类介入杂交手术紧急转机的抢救、复杂多次心脏手术、新生儿先心手术、大血管主动脉全弓置换、胸腹主动脉置换、微创手术等。能熟练应用深低温停循环、中低温低流量脑灌注、腹腔脏器灌注、上下半身循环、左心辅助、低负压辅助静脉引流、离心泵体外循环技术于复杂先心病和大血管、微创、心室辅助和移植手术中，大大提高了手术安全性与组织器官的保护作用。

　　科室配合临床将ECMO技术于全院急危重症患者的急救中，进行心脏(V-A ECMO)和呼吸(V-V ECMO)系统的体外生命支持治疗。自体血回输技术在心外科得到普遍应用，大大降低了临床用血量和用血风险的发生。急危重症心血管病的外科治疗方向为微创体外循环、ECMO、心室辅助装置(人工心脏)、心肺移植等。

The cardiopulmonary bypass department of Tianjin Chest Hospital was founded in 1992, after more than 30 years of development, the department expanded gradually, now it is a distinctive and typical department in all the large cardiac center of the whole country. The department is also the largest full-time extracorporeal circulation doctors’ team in Tianjin, have strong academic leaders, doctor’s and master's talents. Now the total on-the-job personnel are 13.

There’re the most advanced heart-lung machine in the department, four Sorin SC/ S5, two Maquet HL20, one Welcome H5 domestic heart-lung machine, ten cell savers, two Maquet extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipments, together dynamic venous oxygen saturation/ hemoglobin monitoring devices, oxygen/air blenders et al. The cardiopulmonary bypass department can supply the cardiopulmonary support to all kinds of cardiac surgeries, this involve the coronary artery bypass (CABG), valve forming/ replacement, congenital heart disease, great vessel, Ventricular assist device (VAD) and heart lung transplant surgeries. This also involve the emergency CPB to off-pump CABG and all interventional hybrid surgeries, multiple valve replacement combined with CABG, complex congenital heart disease with low birth weight neonates, whole ascending aorta and arch branch surgeries, thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, minimally invasive surgeries. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and moderate hypothermia cerebral perfusion techniques, abdominal organ perfusion, upper and lower body circulation, left ventricular assistance, VAVD, centrifugal pump CPB was skillful used in the surgeries of complex congenital heart disease, great vessel disease, and minimally invasive surgeries, VAD and transplant surgeries. Greatly improved the safety of the surgery and protected the body tissues and organs.

The department cooperated with clinical application of ECMO technology in the acute critical patients in the hospital, and carried out external life support treatment of cardiac (V-A ECMO) and respiratory (V-V ECMO) systems. Autologous blood transfusion technology has been widely used in cardiac surgery, which has greatly reduced the clinical bank blood volume and related risks. The future development of Surgical treatment of acute and critical cardiovascular diseases is minimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass technology, ECMO, VAD (artificial heart), heart and lung transplantation, etc.
