Normothermic Regional Perfusion

Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) is a medical technique used to preserve organs from deceased donors. After death, blood flow is temporarily restored to the organs at normal body temperature, allowing them to continue functioning temporarily. This process helps improve the quality and viability of organs like the liver or kidneys for transplantation. NRP reduces damage caused by lack of oxygen and boosts the chances of successful transplants, ultimately saving more lives. It is a carefully controlled procedure performed by specialized medical teams to optimize organ preservation while respecting ethical standards.
