Organ Procurement Flashcards
Where is the cannula placed for the Heart?
Aortic Root
Where is the cannula placed for the Lungs?
Pulmonary Artery
Where is the cross clamp placed?
Distal to the aortic root, typically aortic arch
If abdominals only may be Supra Ciliac Aorta in order to keep thoracic cavity closed
What is done to allow for venous drainage?
Vena Cava is incised after cross clamp
Where is the Venous cannula placed for the portal flush (aka Pre Cool) (3 options)
1st- Portal Vein
2nd- Inferior Mesenteric Vein
3rd- Splenic Vein
Abdominal Venous Drainage location
chest cavity or
Inferior vena cava at the level of the illiac bifurcation
Euro- Collins or Collins
oldest- cheapest Simple Crystalloid high glucose high potassium low sodium mimic intracellular environment. once had Mg in original formulation. Originally known as Euro- Collins; called collins once Mg removed

Pancreas cannulation
no direct cannulation or perfusion
Kidney Cannulation
Aortic cannula placement is same as liver
Distal Aorta proximal to the illiac bifurcation
Liver Cannulation
Aorta proximal to the illiac bifurcation
Internal Packaging
A triple sterile barrier must protect all organs
