What is Beating Heart (or Off-pump) Bypass Operation?

Traditionally bypass operation or CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) is done using the help of Heart Lung Bypass (CPB or Cardio-pulmonary Bypass) machine. This machine does what heart and lungs do normally in the body. It gives Oxygen to the blood, takes away Carbon-dioxide from it and pumps the blood to all parts of the body. This enables surgeon to stop the heart and make it bloodless. Complicated surgical procedures can thus be performed safely and with greater precision. However the CPB machine is not without its share of dangers. As the blood comes in contact with the tubes and the pumps of the machine, the body systems recognize it as a ‘foreign atmosphere’ and reacts to it. This reaction can create a variety of harmful effects on different organs and some of them can even be fatal.

The idea to avoid CPB machine and its ill effects during CABG led to the concept of performing the operation on beating heart. Here the operation is done while the heart is still pumping and the lungs are working. So the support of CPB machine or ‘the pump’ is not required. Hence the name ‘Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass or OPCAB’. It needs no great reasoning to understand that doing the same procedure when the target is in motion demands greater care, precision and skills.

Fashion was known to be solely associated with the way one dresses. However today, the word fashion is synonymous with a way a life. Spread across various choices, fashion is represented through culture, media, industry and technology.

Micro fashion capitals are spread across the world, known to be the home for trends. The concept of globalism has challenged this very idea. Art, architecture, botany and cuisine may be used as a muse for the next runway collection you read about.

Season after season, trend after trend, fashion is an industry that flourishes on the idea of change. Amongst the constant change, fashion remains to be the epitome of personal expression. While some may argue portions of society ignore brands or what the fashion industry dictates as in trend, fashion remains to be an integral part of everyone’s life. This is prevalent in couture designers finding inspiration in indigenous tribes or in the way a village kid chooses to style his hair after a quick glimpse of a popular movie poster. Style is often citied within the choice of an evening dress or well-tailored suit, but that isn’t the case today. Editors and bloggers alike suggest to stay on trend by owning a well-constructed �tote handbag �or urge you to buy bow ties that are handmade or handcrafted.

When multinational fashion and lifestyle brands met industrialization and e-commerce to supply the rise in demand, something needed to be done. The need for everything in trend to be available promptly lead to competitors going head-to-head for first place. This revolution gave birth to a movement titled ethical fashion. A new class of buyers and customers arose who demanded ethically sourced clothing.

With the emphasis on where and how are our clothes manufactured, NGO’s such as NEST work with artisan communities around the world to encourage sustainable business practices through the nest reviews. One step at a time, organizations and smart customers are coming together to support the cause for sustainable fashion.
