Organ Preservation Techniques

Organ preservation techniques are methods used to maintain the viability of organs for transplantation. These can include cooling the organs to slow down their metabolism, using special solutions to protect cells, and sometimes employing advanced technologies like perfusion machines that keep the organ supplied with nutrients and oxygen. These techniques are crucial for ensuring that organs remain healthy and functional until they can be successfully transplanted into a recipient. Proper preservation can significantly enhance the chances of a successful transplant and improve recovery outcomes for patients in need of organ replacements.
