NEW YORK – It’s always the No. priority of New York City ambulance squad to save the living but now a first-rate group of paramedics is thinking to perform a different task as to save the dead.

The city has a plan to form a special ambulance service whose crew will not only at once collect the newly dead but also manage to save the body to take the organs for transplant.

This “rapid-organ-recovery ambulance” is in the early planning stages and it can be expected that it will have to face some ethical queries and also be considered gruesome by some families. However, top medical officials of the Fire department and Bellevue Hospital are of the view that this service has the prospective of saving hundreds of lives.

Usually, the people who die at hospitals are used as organ giver in the U.S. as in hospitals the doctors are near to such equipments and life-support machinery as are handy to remove and save the organs before spoiled. Surgeons have just few hours to save kidneys, livers and other body parts after death. After these critical few hours these organs spoil and become unusable.

According to Doctor Lewis Goldfrank who is director of emergency medicine at Bellevue ,the system is first of its kind in the U.S. but similar kind of services have been successfully provided in many parts of Europe. He said that the ambulance service would substantially increase the pool of donor and spark as an amazing transformation.

To keep the dead’s organs in life immediate procedure, help of drugs and offering chest compression are some ways to use.

These are steps are often taken without even getting approval from the relative of the departed or knowing the wishes of the dead regarding organ donation
