| Mary Martin in the Operating Room (Courtesy of Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine) | View (This is a picture of Mary Martin with the Coffee Pot oxygenator. It actually worked like a coffee pot and blood was oxygenated up the center column (like a percolator), de-foamed in upper chamber where there would be stainless steel sponges coated in antifoam and also a screen filter (like brewing coffee with a filter), the blood would go around a helix inside the main body (like the DeWall-Lillehei oxygenator), and arterial blood would be pumped from the bottom of the device to the patient. They used the glass fluid indicator on the outside, like a coffee pot level indicator, to see the operating level during bypass.) |
