Oxygen Added. When Cecelia was in high school, Dr. Gibbon had brought his machine along to the point where the heart part worked fine on dogs. But he was still not ready to try it on a human patient (TIME, Sept. 26, 1949). Then Detroit researchers described a machine which had done part of the work of a man's heart, but not his lungs (TIME...
...last week Dr. Gibbon was satisfied at last with both the heart and lung sections of his machine. At Philadelphia's Jefferson Hospital, Cecelia Bavolek was anesthetized and Dr. Gibbon, with two assisting surgeons, laid bare her heart. They opened the two large veins carrying blood to it, and slipped in plastic tubes which drained the blood away to the artificial heart-lung. There, one pump drew in the blood. Another speeded it to an oxygen chamber, where it flowed over a set of metal grids like the plates in a storage battery. Electronic controls kept the flow rate...
...Look Into the Heart. Cecelia and the machine were hooked together for 45 minutes. For 26 of those minutes the machine breathed for her and pumped her blood. In that time, Dr. Gibbon lifted up her heart and opened it so that the aperture (as big as a half-dollar) between the auricles was in full view. He stitched that up with relative ease since he was working in a bloodless "dry field," although Cecelia's heart kept beating because its muscle was getting a full blood supply.
