Obviously requiring a heart to transport blood throughout the body and brain, is a pump or something used as a submission for that?

just to clarify the other answer, the bypass machine takes over the pumping of blood, but also takes over the oxygenation from the lungs. While the patient *is* on a ventilator, this won’t do anything while the bypass machine is on (it literally “bypasses” the heart and lungs). The ventilator is used for the parts of the operation before and after the patient goes on the bypass machine
