Summary

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is highly technical and complex and accident and error can occur due to malfunction of equipment and/or human factors.Since its first successful clinical use in 1953, incremental improvements in the heart lung machine have resulted in a decline of perfusion related accidents. Safety practices have been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of error and equipment fault and need to be constantly reviewed and their implementation should be regularly rehearsed by all members of the intraoperative team and not only by the perfusion team. Institutional protocols, compliance with instructions for use of equipment and step-by-step processes to deal with error and unforeseen events will minimize their impact.
