Despite the passage of a decade since the tragic loss of an organ recovery team from the University of Michigan, there are currently no national standards governing air and ground transportation of organ recovery personnel. Consequently, the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, and the United Network for Organ Sharing jointly convened a transportation summit to review and update recommendations for national transportation standards. Expanded air transport quality assurance protocols, including a requirement for two engine turbine-powered aircraft piloted by two qualified pilots certified through onsite inspections was recommended. Ground transportation providers must ensure adequate safety restraints are available, ambulance avoided if possible, and the use of lights and sirens minimized. Finally, adequate insurance coverage for all team members, including trainees should be provided and should not rely on carrier liability insurance policies. The summit participants have committed the support of their organizations to promote and enact these regulations nationally.
尽管密歇根大学器官获取团队遭遇悲剧已经过去了十年，但目前仍没有关于器官获取人员空运和陆运的国家标准。因此，美国移植外科医生学会、器官获取组织协会和器官共享联合网络共同召开了一次运输峰会，以审查和更新国家运输标准的建议。建议扩大空运质量保证协议，包括要求两架由两名通过现场检查认证的合格飞行员驾驶的双引擎涡轮飞机。地面运输提供商必须确保有足够的安全约束装置，如有可能避免使用救护车，并尽量减少灯光和警笛的使用。最后，应为所有团队成员，包括学员提供充足的保险，并且不应依赖承运人的责任保险政策。峰会参与者承诺支持他们的组织在全国范围内推广和实施这些法规。
