Thanks for the laugh and jesting - no offense taken.
What I am interested in is how best to manage, from a physio perspective, the deceased patient who is consented for transplantation but is awaiting theatre for organ procurement. Logistics in our situation mean that in some instances we may have a deceased donor patient ventilated in ICU for up to 8-12 hours awaiting the retrieval of their lungs prior to subsequent transplanting, either at our facility or St Elsewhere. It is the role of physio in the deceased patient during this 'waiting' period that is of interest; can we influence/optimise the lungs before they are transplanted from the donor into the recipient?
