Organ Procurement in Trauma
According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, there are currently more than 100,000 people in the United States in need of life-saving organ transplants. Unfortunately, this demand far exceeds the number of available organs, and each day an average of 18 people die because of the shortage of organs and organ donors.
