Transplantation proceedings

We report a successful method for rapid organ recovery from the non-heart-beating donor, which can open a new resource of organs for transplantation. The RORP is not controversial, is simple in design and execution, and results in kidneys that are viable for transplantation. ⋯ When these processes are better understood and managed, the full potential of the NHBD as a donor resource will be fully achieved. We agree with others that the donor shortage could be entirely relieved by routine organ recovery from NHBD trauma victims.

The register has been a support for the coordinators in Sweden when the relatives have said one thing and the deceased person another in regards to donation. Most of the staff are positive to the register and the safety regulations around it. ⋯ Most decisions are still, however, made by relatives. There is still a need for more positive information about transplantation and its value.
