Donor selection and management
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2009The scarcity of suitable donor organs continues to limit lung transplantation, resulting in long waiting times and significant mortality for those patients listed for transplant. Strategies to expand the donor pool can substantially lift donor lung utilization rates from historically low levels of less than 20% to rates greater than 50%.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2003
The demand for donor lungs currently exceeds the supply of suitable grafts by a significant margin. Legal backgrounds and organizational and logistic issues are of major impact on the available donor pool. Re-evaluation of the donor criteria currently in use and new, innovative approaches such as living donor lung transplantation and non-heart-beating ...

Donor selection for multiorgan transplantation
Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2021Purpose of review There is limited data and guidance on donor selection for multiorgan transplantation. In this article, we review the current Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network policy on multiorgan allocation and the ideal donor criteria for each specific organ, in order to provide a framework to guide donor ...

Cadaveric donor selection and management
Respiratory Care Clinics, 2004While there is little doubt that proper donor selection is extremely important to achieve good outcomes from transplantation, there are only limited data regarding the current criteria utilized to select the "ideal donor". Importantly, there are not enough donor lungs available for all of those in need.

Donor selection in living donors: prospects and problems
Transplantation Proceedings, 1999THE ESTIMATED prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Pakistan is 100 per million population. The cost of dialysis is approximately US$5000 to 6000 per annum. As the gross national product is US$430 in the country, the majority of patients with ESRD cannot afford dialysis. The public sector does not offer free dialysis facilities. Cadaver organ

Algorithm for donor selection in 2011
Current Opinion in Hematology, 2011The timing represents a relevant prognostic factor of outcome for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (ASCT). In this review, the most recent studies and own transplant center policy on the donor search will be summarized in order to design an algorithm of donor identification driving ...

Donor Selection: The Exclusion of High Risk Donors?
Vox Sanguinis, 1998AbstractSelection of donors is an important means to improve the overall safety of the blood supply. Since the AIDS epidemic emerged and after the introduction of sensitive screening tests for HIV, it became clear that blood donations given in the infectious ‘window’ period, formed the most important risk for recipients of blood products.

Corneal Donor Material Selection
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1978Histologic study of eyes used as donor material for corneal transplant revealed one instance of massive leukemic infiltration with leukemic keratic precipitates on the fellow eye. In another eye, microabscesses composed of acute and chronic inflammatory cells containing Crytococcus neoformans were present. In a third patient metastatic anaplastic cells

Donor Selection, Retrieval and Preparation of Donor Tissue
2009Corneal transplantation safety is widely dependent on clinical donor selection. Donor-to-host transmission of rabies and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is well established, and it is lethal for the recipient. Taking into consideration this latter figure, contraindications to ocular tissue transplantation include not only rabies, contact with rabies virus ...
