He had a blood pressure cuff on the left arm, and the usual tube down the wind pipe, hooked up to an oxygen cylinder.

The heart-lung machine, previously used mainly in heart surgery to provide the surgeon with a dry field, takes blood from the leg vein of a patient, infuses oxygen, filters out bubbles in a pad of steel wool and returns the blood under pressure into an arm artery. By thus handling the circulation of about one-third of the body's blood supply, the machine sometimes relieves an ailing heart muscle of enough of its load to keep it going...
