If the oil filter falls off and I lose all my oil while driving, does the oil pump burn automatically or is there anything to save it?

Is there anything connected to the gas pump on my car that would turn my engine off to save my oil pump? How much does is cost to change the oil pump on my car and how long?

If the oil filter falls off, the entire engine may be ruined. Nothing automatically shuts off the engine.
