title: Cardiopulmonary bypass used in the resuscitation of eventual organ donors: a case report.
abstract: Little has been published regarding cardiopulmonary bypass in the resuscitation of eventual organ donors. One such pediatric donor at our institution provided organs, which have thus far been successful. Pediatric organs have demonstrated usefulness, even when transplanted into adult recipients. Further research will provide data on the utility of organs obtained after cardiopulmonary bypass resuscitation.
