Knowledge, Attitude, and Barriers Toward Deceased Organ Donation Among Health Care Professionals and Medical Students in Southern Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSIONS: Attitudes of medical students and health care personnel toward organ donation were positive, although they were generally reluctantto donate their organs. This study repeats the need for education interventions that should stress the importance of donation, brain death irreversibility, national legal regulations for organ donation, the compatibility of organ donation with religious values, and the explanation of inaccurate beliefs.PMID:37885294 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0166 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Canadian organ donation organizations' donor audit processes: an environmental scan
CONCLUSION: There is significant variability across Canadian ODOs in the methodology, definitions, timeliness, data collection, and reporting of DAs. This underscores the need for a national donor audit strategy to reduce preventable harm from MDOs to patients/families at end of life and those on transplant waitlists.PMID:37853277 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-023-02584-2 (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Con: The Use of Organ Care System for Heart Transplant Has Led to Similar Outcomes with Expanded Donor Pools
For over ten consecutive years, the number of heart transplants performed in the United States has grown. In 2022, over 4,000 patients received a heart transplant, with the number performed from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors during this time increasing by 68% compared to 2021. With over 3,000 individuals awaiting a heart transplant as of September 2023, the need for donor organs far exceeds the supply.1 (Source: Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia)

Commentary: Warm ischemic injury to human donor hearts —when is it too much?
Mondal and colleagues1 must be congratulated for this very impressive study. They obtained human hearts that were not used for transplantation and analyzed the differences in edema and inflammatory markers between donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs. The amount of work involved in obtaining these organs and performing the detailed analyzes was tremendous. This is the largest series of essentially normal “usable” donor hearts and contributes to our overall knowledge about organ heart preservation and transplant.

Organ Procurement Using Normothermic Regional Perfusion
To the Editor A recent Viewpoint about controlled donation after circulatory death with normothermic regional perfusion raised important considerations regarding this controversial practice. However, we believe that it inadequately highlighted key features of normothermic regional perfusion. Ethical safeguards exist to guide organ procurement, most notably the “dead donor rule,” which requires that the following criteria be met: donors must be dead before vital organs are procured; donors cannot be made dead in order to obtain organs; and organ retrieval cannot cause death. Standard donation after circulatory death wit...

The presumed consent legislation - A success factor or a disruptive factor for tissue donation? A qualitative study based on multidisciplinary interviews with experts
CONCLUSION: The present study indicates that the presumed consent legislation is not a success factor for increasing the number of tissue donors in Germany. It would be far more effective to improve structures and processes in order to identify the large number of potential tissue donors and to be able to conduct informed conversations with their relatives. Information measures for the general public and professionals, which clearly differentiate between tissue donation and organ donation, are also more promising than fruitless debates about the introduction of the presumed consent legislation.PMID:37806815 | DOI:10.1016/j...
