1. A method for maintaining the viability of potentially transplantable organs and tissue including the heart, kidney, liver, lungs and eyes in the intact body of a deceased, brain dead, or clinically dead organ donor for subsequent transplantation, said method comprising the steps of: connecting to the vasculature of the intact body of an organ donor, a mobile heart-lung machine that has connectors for alternately connecting to, and circuitry for alternately operating on either a) an external electrical power supply available at a first location, b) battery power or c) an external electrical power supply available in a vehicle, wherein said heart lung machine further comprises pumping, oxygenating, bubble detection and control apparatus which operate to automatically circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature without manual intervention, and wherein the heart-lung machine is additionally capable of being primed with a priming liquid and de-aired, without the presence of a trained perfusionist or cardio-technician;causing the heart lung machine to be primed and de-aired without the presence of a trained perfusionist or cardio-technician;while the donor is at the Ran first location, causing the heart lung machine to be connected to an external power supply available at that first location and to thereby operate to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is at the first location; andcausing the heart lung machine to become disconnected from the external power supply available at the first location and to then operate on battery power to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is moved from the first location. 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the donor is moved from the first location to a vehicle in which an external electrical power supply is available and method further comprises the step of: causing the heart lung machine to be connected to the external power supply in the vehicle and to thereby operate to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is being transported in the vehicle. 3. A method according to claim 2 wherein the donor is transported by the vehicle to a second location and wherein the method further comprises the step of: harvesting at least one of said potentially transplantable organs from the intact body of the donor after the donor has been transported to the second location. 4. A method according to claim 3 further comprising: transplanting said at least one potentially transplantable organ into the body of a recipient at said second location. 5. A method according to claim 1 wherein priming and de-airing the heart lung machine without the presence of a trained perfusionist or cardio-technician occurs prior to connecting of the heart-lung machine to the vasculature of the intact body of the organ donor. 6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the heart-lung machine comprises a centrifugal blood pump head which has a central inlet and a tangential outlet and wherein said method further comprises: positioning the central inlet vertically upward while the heart lung machine is being primed with priming liquid and de-aired, and thereafter positioning the central outlet horizontally while the heart lung machine is being used to circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature. 7. A method according to claim 1 wherein no tilting or change in position of any portion of the heart lung machine is required when transitioning between the priming and de-airing of the machine and the subsequent use of the machine to circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature. 8. A method according to claim 1 wherein the heart lung machine further comprises control apparatus programmed to cause the heart lung machine to carry out an automatic priming and deairing process without human intervention, and wherein: the step of causing the heart lung machine to be primed and de-aired without the presence of a trained perfusionist or cardio-technician comprises initiating said automatic priming and deairing process. 9. A method according to claim 1 wherein: the heart lung machine has a venous reservoir and a spring biased quick action clamp disposed on a conduit between a bubble detector and a connection to the donor's vasculature through which oxygenated blood flows from the heart lung machine into the donor's vasculature, said quick action clamp comprising a spring which forces the clamp to a closed position and a latch which holds the clamp in an open position against the spring; and, wherein,if a bubble is detected by the bubble detector while the heart lung machine is being used to circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature, i) the latch automatically release, thereby allowing the spring to close the quick acting clamp before the detected bubble has past the quick acting clamp and ii) a bypass clamp automatically opens causing blood and the detected bubble to flow through a bypass line and back into the venous reservoir. 10. A method according to claim 9 wherein the venous reservoir comprises a blood containment space and an air containment space, separated by an air permeable harrier, such that the bubble passes through the air permeable barrier and becomes separated from the blood in the air containment space. 11. A method according to claim 10 wherein the heart lung machine further comprises an air extraction pump for extracting air that collects in the air-containment space of the venous reservoir. 12. A method according to claim 11 wherein: the venous reservoir further comprises a detector that indicates when a quantity of air has accumulated in the air containment space and wherein the heart lung machine further comprises control apparatus which, upon receipt of a signal from said detector, causes the air extraction pump to automatically extract air from the air containment space without requiring human interaction. 13. A method for maintaining the viability of potentially transplantable organs and tissue including the heart, kidney, liver, lungs and eyes in the intact body of a deceased, brain dead, or clinically dead organ donor for subsequent transplantation, said method comprising the steps of: connecting to the vasculature of the intact body of an organ donor, a mobile heart-lung machine that has connectors for alternately connecting to, and circuitry for alternately operating on either a) an external electrical power supply available at a first location, b) battery power or c) an external electrical power supply available in a vehicle, wherein said heart lung machine further comprises pumping, oxygenating, bubble detection and control apparatus which operate to automatically circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature without manual intervention and wherein the heart-lung machine has a spring biased quick action clamp disposed on a conduit between a bubble detector and a connection to the donor's vasculature through which oxygenated blood flows from the heart lung machine into the donor's vasculature, said quick action clamp comprising a spring which forces the clamp to a closed position and a latch which holds the clamp in an open position against the spring;while the donor is at the first location, causing the heart lung machine to be connected to an external power supply available at that first location and to thereby operate to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is at the first location; andcausing the heart lung machine to become disconnected from the external power supply available at the first location and to then operate on battery power to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is moved from the first location;wherein, if a bubble is detected by the bubble detector while the heart lung machine is being used to circulate oxygenated blood through the donor's vasculature, i) the latch automatically releases thereby allowing the spring to close the quick acting clamp before the detected bubble has past the quick acting clamp and ii) a bypass clamp automatically opens causing blood and the detected bubble to flow through a bypass line and back into a venous reservoir. 14. A method according to claim 13 wherein the donor is moved from the first location to a vehicle in which an external electrical power supply is available and the method further comprises the step of: causing the heat lung machine to be connected to the external power supply in the vehicle and to thereby operate to circulate oxygenated blood through the vasculature of the donor while the donor is being transported in the vehicle. 15.
