In this two-part series on organ and tissue procurement in the acute care setting, the procurement problem, cost-benefit analysis, organizational development and framework, approach to surviving relatives, public attitudes, and brain death certification were discussed in part 1 (January 1990). Part 2 examines evaluation, selection, maintenance, and management of the organ-tissue donor. It concludes with a discussion of disease transmission, controversial issues, and financial considerations relevant to the procurement process in the acute care setting.
