The Donation Process
The DCD Donor
• Patient remains under the care of the attending physician
– Supportive care continues to maintain optimal organ function
• Medications
• Labs
• Procedures
– Pain control and other comfort measures
Withdrawal• OR /PACU/ICU
– Patient is extubated, comfort care provided by medical team
– Extubation begins 60 min observation period
• If patient does not expire in 60 min, returned to room and comfort care continues
• Transplant surgeon/team and OR staff are not in the room during the withdrawal process
Donor Transport
• All tissue donors and BD organ donors are transported to Mid‐America Transplant’s facility for organ/tissue recovery
• After organ/tissue procurement the donor is transported to the ME (if autopsy planned) or the funeral home
• All transportation arrangements are made by Mid‐America Transplant
Pediatric Considerations:
We can transport and care for all pediatric donors >7kg
Autopsy and/or ME cases don’t preclude organ donation
