Oxygenated blood should instead be directly injected into the main artery while deoxygenated blood is sucked out of the main vein and into a scrubber and rebreather apparatus for oxygenation.

Much better in every way.

That's an ECMO machine, and it works. It's also cumbersome and expensive. This kind of thing might easily become a standard resuscitation step in first responders.
