Description: BASIC CONCEPTS OF ORGAN PROCUREMENT, PERFUSION, AND PRESERVATION FOR TRANSPLANTATION The techniques used in organ preservation have advanced significantly over the last twenty years; standardization of perfusion and preservation technology has led to considerably better results in transplantation. This new volume presents a thorough analysis of the preservation of most major organs — including the kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, heart, and small bowel. The contributors discuss organ procurement, perfusion, and preservation, giving special emphasis to the basic and practical aspects. The clinician and researcher will find detailed chapters on the history of preservation, the definition of brain death, the pharmacology of preservation, kidney donation and harvesting, and the psychosocial factors of organ donation. In addition, the book introduces new areas of preservation such as whole organ freezing. Different schools of thought on preservation are discussed in order to allow the reader a better understanding of all available methods. Jacket illustration by Jay Knipstein
