Organs must typically be retrieved within a few hours after death to be viable for donation. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the type of organ, but they are usually harvested within 4 to 24 hours after cardiac death or brain death is confirmed. Timely coordination with organ recovery organizations is crucial to ensure the best outcomes for transplantation.
