If it is preserved adequately, they usually remain usable (i.e usable for transplant) for 8 hours once they have been removed from the body. However the time varies depending on what kind of transplant it is; hearts have a shorter usable time outside the body, corneas can be out for a couple of weeks.

How long can a brain dead person live?

Sadly while their body can continue to go on with the help of machines, their mind, their personality, and all other parts of them mentally are already gone. Once a doctor has pronounced a person brain dead he is sure of his findings and this is something that cannot be reversed. There is no blood flow in their brain and their brain does not react in any way to stimulation. A quick way to see if someone may be brain dead is shining light into their eyes; a person who is truly brain dead does not have a pupil response. Eventually this person who is brain dead is let off of machines which keep their body alive and their body dies as well. Hopefully, if the person is able to give organ donations they do so, because they could be saving other's lives.
