The role of a tissue bank in disaster planning.

Author(s) : MERICKA P., KLEIN L., PREIS J., ETTLEROVA E.

Type of article: Book chapter

Summary

The following tasks have to be fulfilled in advance: establishment of sufficient technological background for the long-term storage of cells and tissues as a stock to be used in the event of a disaster; elaboration of the methodology for estimating the necessary stock level or graft demand; solving the logistical problems of sending tissue grafts to the surgical departments involved in disaster management; organization of a national and international network for graft exchange able to support the local tissue bank after the disaster. An approach to these problems is demonstrated in the example of the Hradec Kralové Tissue Bank and the authors' own experience of the train-gas pipeline disaster in Bashkiria in June, 1989.
