How do OPOs Function in the Context of Pediatrics?
OPOs operate similarly in pediatric and adult contexts, but there are specific nuances when dealing with pediatric patients. For instance, children often require smaller organs, and the matching process can be more complex. Pediatric OPOs collaborate with specialized pediatric transplant centers to address these unique challenges. They also provide counseling and support tailored to the needs of pediatric patients and their families.
