SCCM Resource Library-December Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this Journal Club webcast, the presenters discussed the topic of normal thoracic regional perfusion (NRP) in organ transplantation. NRP is a technique used to perfuse organs with oxygenated blood after death is declared, but before organ recovery. The presenters offered different perspectives on the ethical and clinical implications of NRP. Dr. Pallad argued that NRP raises concerns about the determination of death and the risk of restoring brain circulation. He emphasized the need for informed consent and the involvement of ethics committees in decision-making. Dr. Dominguez-Gill presented an alternative viewpoint, highlighting the need for NRP to address the shortage of organs for transplantation. She discussed the potential benefits of NRP, including improved post-transplant outcomes and increased organ recovery rates. The presenters acknowledged the ethical and legal considerations surrounding NRP and emphasized the importance of ongoing discussions and evidence-based approaches.  Overall, the webcast provided a platform for thought-provoking discussions on the complex topics related to NRP and organ transplantation.
