Description
Management of human tissues for transplantation includes development of a multi-disciplinary approach to investigation of adverse events associated with tissue transplantation. Graft failures due to structural failure, failure to incorporate or inflammatory response may be underreported. A formal process to investigate complaints should parallel the investigative procedure for reports of graft-associated infections. Different strategies used by hospital tissue services will be presented in this session.
- Explain the different levels of responsibility for investigation of adverse events associated with tissue transplantation for the end-user, hospital, tissue distributor, tissue processor and recovery agency.
- Identify conditions associated with graft failure and infectious complications of tissue transplantation likely to be graft associated rather than community-acquired or routine surgical contaminants.
- List appropriate team members for hospital or surgical center investigation of possible adverse events or tissue transplantation associated infections.
