Abstract

This invention is a method and apparatus for separating blood from other fluids added to the blood in connection with operative procedures. It is particularly exemplified by bypassing a portion of the blood during surgery through an artificial kidney apparatus or the like in conjunction with the oxygenation, simultaniously, of all blood, including that bypassed through the artificial kidney, wherein the excess fluids other than blood are removed for all practical purposes by completion of the operative procedure.
