Addressing the Organ Shortage Crisis with Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP)
The field of transplant medicine is rapidly advancing to combat the severe organ shortage crisis. With increasing congressional scrutiny and the demand for more efficient organ use, there’s a growing urgency to optimize the utilization of transplantable organs obtained from donors who have been declared dead by circulatory criteria.
Unlike organs obtained from living or brain-dead donors, those procured from donations after circulatory death (DCD) often face challenges such as hypoxic-ischemic injury. This injury occurs because DCD organs cannot be removed until the donor has been declared dead, typically in the United States after being pulseless for 5 minutes.
The Promise of Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP)
Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) represents a groundbreaking approach to organ preservation and assessment. Unlike traditional “ex-vivo” perfusion, NRP utilizes advanced extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or cardiopulmonary bypass technology to restore circulation and perfuse DCD donor organs before recovery. The advantages of NRP are significant:
Reduced Warm Ischemia Time
NRP dramatically reduces warm ischemia time, a critical factor in organ transplant success.
Enhanced Organ Assessment
NRP enables thorough assessment of DCD donor organs, ensuring optimal transplant outcomes.
Expertise and Comprehensive Solutions
