heart lung machine is very important because without a pumping system for the duration of the surgery the patient will die. Therefore a machine is needed to do the work of the heart, which is what the heart-lung machine does, it pumps blood and re oxygenates it at the same time.

Is a bridge a simple machine?
I believe a bridge should be considered a simple machine. It saves work and gives mechanical advantage. It can also shorten distance, so unlike an inclined plane it can benefit without increasing distance. It can bypass the need to raise and lower massess into crevasses, it can bypass long journeys down then back up a hill. I could find no discussion anywhere.
