Show Artificial Heart A Vienna physician, Doctor Eisen-menger, Eisen-menger, has perfected a machine or "artificial heart" that pumps the blood when the real healt stops. By use of this new apparatus persons apparently dead have been brought back to life. It keeps the blood circulating cir-culating for a while although the heart has stopped. The machine is designed to apply alternate pressure and suction to that part of the chest containing the heart, so that blood Is alternately sucked into that organ and forced out again, simulating approximately ap-proximately the normal circulation maintained by the heartbeat |
