The blood heat exchanger is used in open heart surgery. The blood heat exchanger is developed to shorten the time normally required to cool a patient prior to open heart surgery and to rewarm the patient following surgery. The body temperature of a patient will be lower by either a refrigerated blanket or an ice pack. Which required from one to two hours under anaesthesia before the operation could begin. The blood heat exchanger allows the body temperature to be lowered safely in a very few minutes. And carefully controlled during the actual surgery. In a like manner, the heat exchanger allows rewarming of a patient to normal body temperature will lower within 10-15 minutes, as compared to 3-4 hours. In open-heart surgery, the blood flowing through the heart need to be stopped, as it will cause blood loss for the patient and disturbance during the operation. This is achieved completely removing the blood from the heart and passing it into the heart-lung machine.
