Schematic demonstration the thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) donation timeline with key time points outlined. Agonal phase: A variable phase is defined by different hemodynamic parameters in each organ. As a result, at our center for both donation after circulatory death NRP heart and lung procurement, we no longer define agonal hemodynamics and instead favor terminal extubation and waiting until declaration or recovery is terminated by the time limit set by the hospital and/or the organ procurement organization, whichever comes first.
