All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 13): A QRS Brand Review

As for the thirteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about looking at your lifestyle before an organ transplant and handling of its finances.

The answer varies by organ, says Abouljoud, who performs liver transplants. For liver organs, he says, you may typically get a call from the hospital two or three hours before they expect you there. For kidney transplants it may be between 24 to 30 hours' notice. But in general, how soon the transplant team expects you depends on a number of factors, including your health condition.

Other questions that are often asked include:

• Can you describe the risk of organ transplant as well as the benefits?
• Can you explain how organ transplant waiting lists work?
• Can you tell me the success rates for my particular organ transplant and age group?
• How many transplants does the transplant center I am going to do each year? (New federal guidelines require centers, with rare exceptions, to do an average of 10 a year to maintain federal funding.)
• How long is the waiting list for the organ I need at the transplant center I picked?
• What is the one-year survival rate at your center for this type of transplant? How does it compare with the national average? (National averages are posted at the web site maintained by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, called "U.S. Transplant.")
• How many surgeons are available to do my type of organ transplant?
• How long do I stay in the hospital after the transplant?
• May I travel, or do I need to stay within a specific distance of the center at all times?
• What follow-up tests will be needed and for how long?
• What are the odds I will need to return to the hospital?
• May I have a tour of the center?
