Abstract

Normothermic Regional Perfusion, or NRP, is a method of donated organ reperfusion using cardiopulmonary bypass or a modified extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit after circulatory death while leaving organs in the dead donor's corpse. Despite its potential, several key ethical issues remain unaddressed by this technology.

Keywords: Circulatory Death; Medical Ethics; Normothermic Regional Perfusion (Nrp); Safeguards.
