Topics
Clinical practice areas reviewed and compared across systems. Articles, dashboards, and plain-language summaries are in development.
Donor management
ICU protocols for potential deceased donors — hemodynamic targets, hormonal resuscitation, lung-protective ventilation — compared across systems.
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP)
Abdominal and thoracoabdominal NRP in controlled DCD — protocols, ethics, and post-transplant outcomes across the systems that use it.
Ex-vivo perfusion
Machine perfusion of kidneys, livers, hearts, and lungs — device generations, clinical evidence, and where each technology sits in current practice.
Observation periods
Five-minute, two-minute, and twenty-minute no-touch intervals — the autoresuscitation evidence, the regulatory pushback in 2025, and the country protocols.
Post-transplant outcomes
Graft and patient survival by organ, pathway (DCD vs DBD), and perfusion strategy — with the worldwide registry data and the published trials.
You are welcome in it.
Three linked virtual collaborative spaces
The project lives across three separate domains. Each shares the same brand, the same editorial principles, and the same commitment to open access — but each handles a different kind of material.
The WOD Collaborative
The community hub. Opinion, commentary, news, contributor essays, and the founder’s notes — the space where the conversation happens.
Worldwide Organ Donation Data
Worldwide organ donation data, evidence reviews, syntheses, and country dashboards. Where the numbers live — donation rates, DCD/DBD splits, consent system comparisons, country profiles.
The Clinical Corner
Clinical aspects of organ donation and practice worldwide — reviewed, compared, and discussed. Donor management, NRP, ex-vivo perfusion, post-transplant data, worldwide evidence-based medicine.
