Tissue and Organ Harvesting

05/01/2012 - "Compared with previous studies, the knowledge and attitudes of health care professionals' regarding brain death and organ retrieval were not improved. "
01/01/2010 - "CTA, the gold standard paraclinical examination for brain death assessment, allows, in a single examination, the identification of contraindications to organ harvesting that may modify the surgical approach and even avoid unnecessary mobilisation of the transplant team. "
01/01/2022 - "The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and incidence of organ retrieval in brain-dead donors following cardiorespiratory arrest due to avalanche burial and to evaluate the function of transplanted organs. "
05/01/2012 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of health care professionals to the concepts of brain death and organ retrieval. "
05/01/2012 - "A study on knowledge and attitude toward brain death and organ retrieval among health care professionals in Korea."

03/01/2003 - "Advances in organ retrieval and preservation, improved surgical techniques, newer immunosuppressive drugs and prevention and treatment of infections have significantly improved patient and graft survival. "
03/01/1999 - "Advances in organ retrieval and preservation, improved surgical techniques and postsurgical care, newer immunosuppressive drugs and prevention and treatment of infections have significantly improved survival of the renal allograft. "
01/01/2022 - "Strict aseptic measures and protocols during corneal tissue harvesting, tissue processing, tissue storage and surgery are essential to prevent occurrence of these infections. "
01/01/2021 - "Here, we report a case of successful transplantation of both kidneys from a deceased donor with active herpes zoster infection at the time of organ retrieval. "
03/01/1996 - "Active surveillance is needed to detect infection in patients receiving transplanted tissues, and rigorous infection control practice are necessary during tissue harvesting and processing to ensure sterility."

01/01/2022 - "Controlled organ retrieval in donors after cardiac death has been increasing in Australia to help bridge the gap in demand and supply. "
03/01/2020 - "End-of-life vital organ transplantation involves singular ethical issues, because survival of the donor is impossible, and organ retrieval is ideally as close to the death of the donor as possible to minimize organ ischemic time. "
06/24/2015 - "The Ethical and Policy Considerations in Organ Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death outline criteria for death and organ retrieval. "
12/01/2014 - "Another common thread through the ethically focused reports has been recognition that organ donation and death are temporally and geographically associated but there is emphasis that the processes of determination of death(by somatic or cerebral criteria) must be logically, ethically, and procedurally separate from the procedures for performing organ harvesting and transplantation."
06/01/2010 - "Organ harvesting has to be initiated after at least 2-5 min of confirmed cardiac death. "

10/01/2004 - "However, various investigators report good outcomes when donor bacteremia was discovered incidentally posttransplant or when bacteremia was cleared before organ retrieval. "
09/01/2019 - "Donors with bacteremia and sepsis are considered controversial for organ retrieval due to potential transmission of an infectious agent to the recipient. "
09/01/2016 - "Donors with bacteremia and sepsis are often considered to be controversial for organ retrieval due to potential transmission of an infectious agent to the recipient. "

08/15/2001 - "This strongly suggests that circulating carcinoma cells were present at the time of organ retrieval and that they were not cleared by in situ perfusion. "
