Abstract
Hormonal resuscitation therapy (HRT) has been shown to increase the number of organs
available for transplant. Likewise, optimal fluid balance, as measured by central
venous pressure (CVP), impacts the function of donor lungs. The purpose of this study
is to examine the interplay of these two variables in donor management and the impact
they have on organs transplanted, with particular emphasis on hearts and lungs.
