such organs have an extremely short shelf life

Don't know about all the rest, but lungs are about 4 hours after removal. Then they have to be checked for any signs of pneumonia, among other things. My first call, I flew in on a charter, was called in and given my first dose of the necessary anti-rejection drugs and laid around in the hospital all night waiting for the organ harvest, then the Doc. came in about 6 hours later and told me the lungs had developed pneumonia. We had to rent a car and drive home.

Second time around was the real deal. I guess the point is, the recipient has to be in the op. room and waiting when the organs come in.
