Day 1
Organ Availability for Transplant in the U.S.
Presenter: S. Patel, MD
Time: 10:00–11:00
Transplantation saves lives, but the organ shortage is a brutal bottleneck. Dr. S. Patel digs into this crisis, where over 100,000 wait and too many don’t make it.
He’ll lay out the stats, policies, and ethics—why donor rates lag and who gets priority. I’ll add my OR view: the highs of a transplant win, the lows when organs don’t come. Dr. Patel will spotlight solutions like opt-out donation and perfusion’s role in preservation. For perfusionists, this ties to our work; for healthcare pros, it’s the big picture. Join us to see how we can close the gap—one organ, one patient at a time.
Organ Procurement Techniques
Presenter: S. Patel, MD
Time: 11:00–12:00
Organ procurement is a high-wire act—surgery, timing, and teamwork in a race against ischemia. Dr. S. Patel unveils the process from donor consent to preservation.
He’ll detail organ-specific needs—kidneys versus hearts, livers needing extra care—and preservation tricks like cooling and solutions. I’ll share a near-miss when a delayed flight tested our heart transport skills. You’ll get the latest on machine perfusion, too. Perfusionists will prize this; surgeons and coordinators will sync better with it. This session arms you to keep organs viable for their next life.
OCS (Organ Care System)
Presenter: J. Basha, CCP
Time: 12:00–13:00
The Organ Care System (OCS) is a transplant revolution, and J. Basha, CCP, shows why it’s a game-changer I’ve seen work wonders.
Unlike cold storage, OCS perfuses organs with warm, oxygenated blood, extending viability. Basha will explain its use for hearts, lungs, and livers, and how it rescues borderline organs. I’ll recount an OCS save—a distant heart that beat strong thanks to this tech. Learn setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting to cut ischemic damage. Perfusionists will level up; transplant teams will broaden their reach. See why OCS is the future and how to wield it.
