Advances in neurosurgical treatment of patients with severe head injury and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) mean that the increase in intracranial pressure (ICH) which previously precipitated ischemic brain-stem...
متن کاملLung Quality and Utilization in Controlled Donation After Circulatory Determination of Death Within the United States.
Although controlled donation after circulatory determination of death (cDCDD) could increase the supply of donor lungs within the United States, the yield of lungs from cDCDD donors remains low compared with donation after neurologic determination of death (DNDD). To explore the reason for low lung yield from cDCDD donors, Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipient data were used to assess the...
متن کاملShould donation after cardiac death liver grafts be used for retransplantation?
INTRODUCTION Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors provide an important source of livers that has been used to expand the donor pool. As a consequence of increased numbers of OLT, allograft failure due to early and late complications and disease recurrence are more commonly encountered. The only life saving treatment for patients with liver allograft failure is liver re-transplantation (LR)...
