Trial to boost transplant success

"A Cambridgeshire, UK, company has developed a machine which could improve heart donor success rates by 75%. In the UK last year only 135 of 500 hearts recommended for transplants were still usable by the time they reached the operating table due to drug levels. LiDCO, in Cambridge, has made the hemodynamic monitor, to show the levels of fluid and drugs needed to re-start a heart without irreparably damaging it. Scientists involved with the trial say it should improve organ yield by 75%. The trial will take place at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, America" - BBC
