In 1931, after witnessing the death of a patient from pulmonary embolectomy, Dr. John Gibbon had an idea for a machine that could take deoxygenated blood, oxygenate it, and pump it back into the arterial system. Collaborating with his wife Mary, Dr. Gibbon worked from 1934 to 1942 to develop an extracorporeal circulatory device. By 1942, he was able to keep cats alive on his experimental devices, with continued survival after bypass. In 1950, he received support from IBM to build a heart-lung machine on a more sophisticated scale. Finally, on May 6, 1953, Dr. Gibbon performed his first successful operation using an extracorporeal circuit on an 18-year-old woman with a large atrial septal defect and a large left-to-right shunt.
1931年，在目睹一名患者死于肺栓子切除术后，约翰·吉本医生萌生了一个想法：制造一种能够采集脱氧血液、使其氧合并将其泵回动脉系统的机器。吉本医生与他的妻子玛丽合作，从1934年到1942年致力于研发一种体外循环装置。到1942年，他能够让猫在他的实验装置上存活，并且在体外循环后能持续存活。1950年，他获得了国际商用机器公司（IBM）的支持，以制造一个更精密的心肺机。最终，1953年5月6日，吉本医生首次成功地为一名患有大型房间隔缺损和大量左向右分流的18岁女性使用体外循环进行了手术。
