cardiopulmonary

Involving circulation and breathing

Cardiopulmonary refers to the heart and lungs together, typically in medical contexts where these organs function as a linked system.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the emergency procedure combining chest compressions and rescue breathing.

A cardiopulmonary bypass machine takes over heart and lung function during surgery.
