Heart Lung Machine Is Acquired DARBY A recently acquired heart-lung machine at Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital played an important role in an open heart operation on a three-year-old girl.

The machine was used for the first time Jan. 8. The patient was Lorraine Grassi, daughter Mr. and Mrs. Gino Grassi, 24" Avon Road, Upper Darby.

Lorraine was suffering from a hole in the wall which separates the two upper chambers of the heart. The condition had been prcs ent at birth. Surgeons successfully closer the defect and Lorraine has been improving steadily. The machine serves multiple purposes during an operation. I enables the surgical team to stop the heart and keep it free of blood.

The heart can then be opened for surgery inside. The machine picks up blood from the two main veins leading to the heart and routes it around the heart and back into the body. The blood is maintained at proper temperature oxygenated and freed of carbon dioxide. The machine can also be used to lower the temperature of the body lo reduce oxygen requirements. At the same time, heart tissijcs are protected while surgery is underway.

Aerojct's rocket would use four such engine chambers and would be the largest space vehicle in the world. Charles Zeicn, Sun Ship vice president in charge of engineering, said construction of chamber represented less llian one per cent of the work at the yard. He said it took three months to build. Aerojet spokesmen would not say officially that Sun Ship would receive contracts to build the chambers if the rocket company gets approval from the government, but Zeien indicated it could represent "five years work, initially about 10 per cent of the ship yard's activity." "It could gel quite a bit bigger," Zeien said. Gecker explained the purpose of the feasibility program.

Geckcr said he was impressed by the speed with which Sun Ship completed the work.

Zeicn said it was the first time a shipbuilding company had built a chamber for a rocket maker. He said previous engine chambers were small enough for the space company facilities to build. Sun Ship had previously constructed components for rocket installations and shipment of roc- fuel, but this is the first work done by the company for an ac- ual space vehicle. He said job presented no unusual difficulties for the ship yard. Sun Ship was given the job because of its experience in building large steel structures, and its access to water transportation.
