Several preservation  techniques are evaluated for their ability to minimize these  physiological changes. In this handbook procurement coordinators,  surgeons, residents and any other health care professionals involved  in organ retrieval will find most questions answered that may arise  during their participation with these difficult and complex issues.  The Handbook of Organ Retrieval an d Preservation will prove an  invaluable resource in the procurement or transplant unit as well as  in the intensive care unit, where organ donors are potentially  identified.
