Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) improves recipient outcomes and organ utilization from DCD donors. There is variability in NRP policies and experience among US organ procurement organizations (OPOs).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives<\/jats:title>\n To determine OPO experience, identify operational inconsistencies, and explore needs related to NRP.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title>\n This survey study included 55 OPOs in the US that had recovered DCD organs and completed a survey on operational, administrative, and educational components related to NRP in November to December 2023. Data analysis was performed from February to April 2024.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcome and Measures<\/jats:title>\n The primary outcome was the number of OPOs participating in and\/or anticipating NRP participation. Secondary outcomes were NRP implementation barriers, OPO education practices, and future needs regarding consensus NRP recommendations and standards.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Of 55 respondents, 11 (20%) were chief executive officers, 8 (15%) were chief operating officers, and 36 (65%) were medical directors or chief clinical officers. Forty-nine OPOs facilitated NRP cases: 26 OPOs (53%) facilitated both thoracoabdominal NRP (TA-NRP) and abdominal NRP (A-NRP) cases, 16 OPOs (33%) facilitated only TA-NRP, and 7 OPOs (14%) facilitated only A-NRP. OPOs reported 606 NRP cases (421 TA-NRP [69%], 185 A-NRP [31%]); median (range) case experience was 8 (1-52). Fifty-two of 55 OPOs (95%) thought standardized guidance documents would be helpful. All 49 OPOs facilitated NRP at a transplant center\u2019s request; 39 (80%) had NRP initiated by a nonlocal transplant center. Twenty-three of 49 OPOs (47%) participated in NRP without a policy and without a policy pending approval. Positive donor hospital feedback was received by 29 OPOs (59%), primarily focused on increased organs transplanted and prerecovery communication. Allocation challenges were experienced by 21 OPOs (43%); their median (range) case volume was higher than those with no reported allocation challenges (11 [3-52] vs 6.5 [1-29];\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.03). Eleven OPOs (22%) had incorporated NRP into general donor hospital education.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n In this survey study of US OPOs, wide variation existed with respect to NRP experience and practice. Allocation challenges occurred more frequently with increased NRP experience. NRP guidelines and standardization were desired by most OPOs to decrease allocation challenges and maximize the gift of organ donation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2024.40130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,24]],"date-time":"2024-10-24T11:32:02Z","timestamp":1729769522000},"page":"e2440130","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Normothermic Regional Perfusion Experience of Organ Procurement Organizations in the US"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Marty T.","family":"Sellers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gift of Life Donor Program, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"},{"name":"CONCORD: Consortium for Donation after Circulatory Death and Normothermic Regional Perfusion Outcomes Research and Development, La Jolla, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Philip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin Organ and Tissue Donation, Division of Transplantation, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleah L.","family":"Brubaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Surgery, University of California San Diego, La Jolla"},{"name":"CONCORD: Consortium for Donation after Circulatory Death and Normothermic Regional Perfusion Outcomes Research and Development, La Jolla, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roxane L.","family":"Cauwels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, McLean, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristopher P.","family":"Croome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONCORD: Consortium for Donation after Circulatory Death and Normothermic Regional Perfusion Outcomes Research and Development, La Jolla, California"},{"name":"Department of Transplant, Mayo Clinic Florida, Jacksonville"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordan R.","family":"Hoffman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Colorado Hospital, Anschutz Medical Campus, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikole A.","family":"Neidlinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin Organ and Tissue Donation, Division of Transplantation, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea M.","family":"Reynolds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gift of Life Donor Program, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anji E.","family":"Wall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONCORD: Consortium for Donation after Circulatory Death and Normothermic Regional Perfusion Outcomes Research and Development, La Jolla, California"},{"name":"Annette C. and Harold C.
