- An informative and practical guide to the use of transplant donors after cardiac death and recipient selection
- Lays out the moral, legal and ethical restraints to using such donors for organ transplant together with the techniques that have been adopted to improve their outcome
- Covers different approaches and results of renal transplant according to country, together with the procedures and outcomes adopted to use other organs, notably the liver and lungs
- Provides invaluable help in establishing such a transplant programme, and written by international experts in the field
With the success of organ transplantation and the declining number of heart beating cadaver donors, the number of patients awaiting a transplant continues to rise. This means that alternative sources of donors have been sought, including donors after cardiac death. Such donors sustain rapid damage to their organs due to ischaemia, and as a consequence some organs do not work initially and some none at all. The proportion of such transplants has increased dramatically in recent years- 25% of kidney transplants in the UK were from such donors in 2006 highlighting how much progress has been
made.
Written by international experts, this book lays out the moral, legal and ethical restraints to using such donors for organ transplant together with the techniques that have been adopted to improve their outcome. The different approaches and results of renal transplant according to country are covered together with the procedures and outcomes adopted to use other organs, notably the liver and lungs.Readership: Junior surgeons and physicians, transplant coordinators, consultant surgeons and physicians, intensive care specialists, accident and emergency unit staff.
