Beating heart cadaver : ウィキペディア英語版 | Beating heart cadaver
A beating heart cadaver is a human body that though dead in all medical and legal definitions is attached to a medical ventilator and retains cardio-pulmonary functions. This will keep the organs of the dead body, including the heart, functioning and alive for a few days.〔Roach, Mary. ''Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers''. New York: W.W. Norton &, 2003. Print.〕 As a result, the period of time in which the organs may be used for transplantation is extended. ==Care== Caring for a beating heart cadaver is similar to caring for a living patient. Since the brain has stopped functioning, the hormone levels and blood pressure must be regulated by intensive care unit (ICU) personnel.〔 The protocol for preserving the cadaver aims to prevent infection and maintain adequate oxygenation of tissue.〔"Beating Heart Cadaver." Surgery Door. Web. 4 March 2010. .〕 The cadaver's status must be continuously monitored, so that ICU staff can prevent organ failure or quickly operate to save threatened organs.〔Roach, p. 170.〕
