Q

Which organs REQUIRE a rigid container as one of the triple layers?

Study These Flashcards
A

Kidneys
Pancreas
Extra vessels

23
Q

Mandatory info on internal packaging label

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Description of the contents of the package,
  • donor ID,
  • blood type and blood subtype, if used for allocation.
24
Q

Before Cross clamp what is used to prep AORTA?

Study These Flashcards
A

2 umbilical tapes

aortic cannula will be placed between these

25
What is used to prep the Superior Mesenteric Artery for ligation?
heavy ties
26
Left Kidney
Generally preferred for transplant Longer renal vein Cuff of aorta should be present Should have PATCH of Vena Cava
27
Cuff
Renal Artery still connected to a piece of the aorta
28
Patch of the Cava
Renal vein remains connected to a section of the Vena Cava | Typically on Left Kidney
29
Right Kidney
Shorter renal vein Should have FULL Vena Cava Cuff of aorta should be present
30
Heart Storage Volume
1 Liter
31
HTK
CUSTODIAL
32
Pancreas preservation solutions
UW HTK Perfadex
33
Intestine preservation solutions
UW | HTK
34
Normal Hepatic Artery anatomy
Classic branching of the common hepatic artery from the coeliac artery, and the proper hepatic artery into right and left hepatic arteries to supply the entire liver
35
replaced hepatic artery
one which arises from an anomalous origin and supplies a portion of the liver solely. (commonly replaced right hepatic artery arising from the SMA or replaced left hepatic artery arising from the left gastric artery)
36
accessory hepatic artery
arises from an anomalous origin and supplies a portion of the liver along with another artery.
37
What vein CANNOT be used for cannulation if recovering pancreas?
The Splenic Vein is preserved and must not be used for cannulation during pancreas recovery (Inferior Mesenteric Vein is dissected and cannulated)
38
what vasculature does the Panc need for transplant?
- 2 cm of Portal Vein must remain on the pancreas side after cold preservation. - Portal Vein is divided between the liver and the pancreas - Splenic Artery ligated close to Celiac Axis to leave as much length as possible with the pancreas
39
Portal Cannulation
The cannula is placed into the Portal Vein through the Inferior Mesenteric Vein for portal venous perfusion
40
R Hepatic Artery anomaly and panceas recovery
If the Right Hepatic Artery passes through the head of the pancreas, the pancreas cannot be recovered.
41
Pumped kidneys max cold time
72 hrs | Longer preservation times associated with Graft Failure, resulting in the need for dialysis until the ATN resolves.
42
During recovery, plaque is noted in the distal aorta and surgeon is unable to cannulate the distal aorta due to plaque. What would he cannulate instead?
Cannulate the descending thoracic aorta
43
On the back table you notice the kidneys appear mottled? What do you do?
Suggest back table flush
44
Liver pre-cooling solution most commonly used?
LR?
45
Vessels and tissue typing material is stored in what?
FDA approved preservation solution | in a secured refrigerator with a temperature monitor
46
When should you pull the cardioplege flush solution from the cooler?
?
47
Order of recovery in multi organ OR
``` 1- Heart 2- Lungs 3- Liver 4- Pancreas 5- Small Intestine 6- Kidney ```
48
kidney only procurement
- Thoracic cavity typically remains closed - cannulation- distal aorta - cross clamp- supraceliac aorta - exsanguination- vena cava incised
49
Liver Procurement
- Cross clamp: Supraciliac Aorta - Cannulation: Aorta & Portal Vein - Exsanguination: Vena Cava is cut at level of R Atrium
50
Kidney cold time (static preservation)
30 hrs
51
Vessels | Storage time
14 days | if HIV,HCV, HBV negative
52
What can extra vessels be used for
Extra vessels must only be used for organ transplantation or modification of an organ transplant
53
Who is responsible for | the Reporting Requirements for Extra Vessels
Transplant hospitals must report to the OPTN Contractor (UNOS) the disposition of all extra vessels, including their use, sharing, or destruction, within seven days of their use, sharing, or destruction.
54
Extra Vessel packaging (8)
1. Donor ID 2. Donor blood type 3. Donor blood subtype, if used for allocation 4. Recovery date 5. Description of the container contents 6. That the extra vessels are for use in organ transplantation only 7. IDT 8. PHS risk status
