What are the various types of organ donation?

The types of organ transplants are:

  • Living organ donation: A living person, who can be a relative, friend, or anonymous person, can donate a part of the liver or a kidney. The liver has the ability to regrow to its normal size. Further, the donor can live a healthy life with one kidney.
  • Deceased organ donation: The recipients can also receive organs or tissues from a deceased person. A deceased person who consents to donate organs prior to death can save up to eight lives.
  • Tissue donation: Tissues, such as bones, skin, and heart valves, can be donated by the donor.

How is the recovery after a heart transplant?

The patient is shifted to the intensive care unit after the surgery. The patient is usually kept in the ICU for about five days until all the vital parameters are stable. The patient is then shifted to the general ward for about a week. The patient may be on the ventilator until he can breathe on his own. He would be under constant monitoring by the hospital staff. The doctor prescribes medications to the patients to reduce the risk of rejection and infection. Drugs are also prescribed to manage pain and swelling. The patient should take good care of his wound and practice dental hygiene.
