Does anyone know what percentage of DSAs currently pump kidneys?

New Certification

John Belcher — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:01:59 GMT

It appears that ABTC is rapidly moving forward to create a new certification. "Certified Transplant Preservationist" (CTP)

The current goal is to make the exam available in the fall. More information should be available in the coming months.

NATCO will likely put together an on-line prep course for this new exam.

Good morning everyone. I'm wondering how many OPO's are using the SPS-1 solution offered by ORS?

Any feed back is greatly appreciated.

Additives to perfusion circuit

I would like to know if any of you have had the occasion to add medications to the perfusate on kidney pumps? If so, what did you use? Do you feel it made difference?
