Solid organ procurement from burn patients.
With the increasing success or organ transplantation and the consequent increasing scarcity of suitable organs, many traditional contraindications to organ procurement are being reconsidered. One such traditional contraindication to organ procurement is burn injury. We report a case of successful multiorgan procurement from a child with an extensive burn and propose guidelines for solid organ harvest from burn patients.
