Description
When a heart stops outside hospital and cannot be restarted, the body can still give organs, a route called uncontrolled donation after circulatory death. Yann Pionnier and six co-authors review Europe's experience in 2024, from the donors' first rescuers to the grafts' long term fate. Warm perfusion machines now let teams judge and revive organs once written off.
Short term graft survival trails the standard donation routes, but long term results draw level in the studies gathered. Europe's arrest numbers promise a large donor pool, though programs overcount how many can truly donate. The authors stress that emergency physicians and paramedics open the whole cascade by recognizing candidates in time. Costs, selection rules, and new resuscitation machines still need honest study.
