Answer #1

Cadaveric donation is not a primary source of organ and tissue donation . Organs are procured from persons who have DIED.

These organs may be obtained from:

-Persons who have suffered a recent - in the last 30 minutes -cardiac arrest-> usually as a result of traumatic injury to the brain in which other body parts were NOT harmed

Ex.) A gunshot

-Persons who have sustained a NON-recoverable brain injury but have not actually died

>Under a very specific and rigorous protocol these people may be taken to the OR, disconnected from life support, and diagnosed as DEAD

-Persons who have been determined to be dead based on NEUROLOGIC (rather than cardiac) criteria ("brain dead")
