- Title
A Potential Solution to the Shortage of Solid Organs for Transplantation.
- Authors
Wall, Stephen P.; Plunkett, Carolyn; Caplan, Arthur
- Abstract
The authors comment on solutions for meeting the increasing U.S. demand for transplants. Topics covered include the failure of the U.S. policy on organ recovery to meet the demand, the neglect by the country's organ donation system of potential donors who could provide organs following unexpected death outside an intensive care unit and a proposed approach to uncontrolled donation after circulatory determination of death (UDCDD).
