Correspondence, C. Walton Lillehei to A.F. Crumley regarding the discontinuation of hypothermia as a method for open heart surgery
Subject
Open Heart Surgery
Description
C. Walton Lillehei responded to a letter A.F. Crumley, Superintendent of the San Diego County General Hospital, sent to him regarding the use of hypothermia for open heart surgery and the purchase of a hypothermia blanket and respirator.
In this letter, Lillehei indicated that in 1957, hypothermia was no longer being used at University Hospitals during open heart surgery. Lillehei indicated that the portable bubble oxygenator invented by Richard DeWall in 1955 was the preferred method for extracorporeal circulation during open heart surgery.
