With donor organs in short supply, it’s a blessing to have transplant teams that can rally to implant the organs when they’re available — even when they are available all at once. Last week, our teams completed five liver transplants in an epic 24 hours, performing four at HUP and one at childrensphila. Making these surgeries happen took incredible teamwork and planning by many, many people -- including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, transplant coordinators, anesthesia techs, environmental services staff, and countless others -- to procure the donor organs, prepare operating rooms, assign staff, deliver surgical tools, and get patients ready to go. They transformed the lives of five patients and gave them more time with their loved ones. Thank you to all of our teams for their dedication to our patients, and to the donor families for giving the gift of life! #livertransplant #giftoflife #organdonation #organdonor #organdonationsaveslives
