OBJECTIVES
By the end of this presentation, the attendee will be
able to:
1. Identify best practices in DCD
2. Recognize the importance of collaboration and
communication in donation
3. Describe strategies to improve the DCD process
Pediatric Donation After
Cardiac Death (DCD)

Donation Facts
• In the USA 1% all deaths are considered brain death.
• One organ donor has the potential to save up to 8 people
by donating organs and may provide 50 people with tissue
and cornea transplants.
• There are more people on the organ wait lists than organs
available. 18 people die each day waiting for an organ
transplant
• Literature shows that parents want to be asked about
organ donation, including donation after cardiac death.
• Families of children are more likely to agree to organ
donation than families of adult patients.
Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD)
• DCD offers an option to patients and families who may
wish donation to occur after life sustaining equipment is
withdrawn, and death is determined by cardiopulmonary
criteria.
• For DCD to occur, patient death is determined by
cessation of cardiac & respiratory function, rather than by
the absence of cerebral and brain stem function.
• DCD is generally practiced in the USA
Donation after Cardiac Death
Things to think about:
• Some children die despite all our efforts
• Death is not a failure
• Death is a natural part of life.
• Donation is a family driven process.
• The family has already made the decision to allow the
patient to die.
• The families decision to donate must be separate from
their decision to withdrawal of support.
• Family participation is essential
• The patient must always be provided comfort measures

Things to Consider with PEDS DCD
• The parents may change their mind at any time.
• Expect that the parents will want to be present in the OR
and hold their child at the time of death.
• Expect that the OR will not be comfortable with the parents
coming into the OR.
• Try to time the OR for evening, night or early am when
there are fewer cases in the department.
• Request an OR room that has an easy egress but is
private so that the family can be as comfortable as
possible.
• Huddle frequently and often.
Case Study
• 3 month old female
• Twin A
• Found unresponsive in crib
• Asystolic when arrived in ED
• Metabolic workup positive for fatty acid oxidative defect
• Parents informed of poor prognosis
• Family requested withdrawal of support and asked about
organ donation
• OneLegacy contacted
• Consent obtained for Organ Donation
Case Study
• Patient prepared for transport to OR.
• Patient 4.2 kg, no local recipients.
• Stanford University accepts liver and kidneys.
• OR Booked for 16:00
• Flight plans set for transplant team to fly from Palo Alto.
• Parents request to be close to the OR but will not be
present in the OR. Family in secluded area of the OR.
• Family Care Coordinator and Priest support the family.
• 20 minutes from OR time, the transplant team experiences
an in-flight emergency
• Flight is diverted to Sacramento
Case Study
• Family is informed but are willing to wait the 3-4 hours it
may take to get the team down to Orange County.
• Transplant team arrives (8 pm) and patient brought back to
the OR.
• Parents placed in secluded OR room.
• Withdrawal of LST performed by the PICU Intensivist.
• Patient was pronounced dead 11 minutes after withdrawal
of life support.
• Parents immediately informed, baby blanket and toy
returned to them.
• Surgery starts after 5 minutes of observation period.
• Liver and Kidneys successfully recovered.
Words of Advice…
• Support internal staff and each other
• Expect the unexpected
• Develop a plan
− For family-demographics, communicate and explain what will
occur, what they will see and hear, and all the what if’s
− For patient-palliative care, terminal extubation person,
− For staff-roles and responsibilities
• Post case debrief (OPO & hospital) for staff involved
• Learn something from every case
• DCD is patient/family centered care
Their lives depend on it!
Thank you.

Donation at St. Mary Medical Center
 Organ donors 2000-2011
 7 Organ Donors
• 5 brain dead
• 2 DCD (2006 and 2011)
• 17 organs recovered
• 14 organs transplanted
• 3 organs for placed for research
Day 1: Admission
 45/M
 Status post cardio-pulmonary arrest
 Areflexic
 Medical history methamphetamine
use, high cholesterol, & diabetes
 Down time 45 minutes
 Transfer in from local hospital for
higher level of care
Day 2
 Consult to OneLegacy
 Patient made a DNR
 Family wanted to extubate soon
 Family initiated donation discussion with
physician

evening
 Awaiting OneLegacy’s arrival to
discuss donation
 Patient’s mother initiated donation
topic stating…
It was a difficult decision but she
wanted her son to save lives through
donation.
Day 2: OneLegacy Consult
 OneLegacy discussed donation
options with the family.
 The family consented for both brain
death and DCD donation, said their
final goodbyes, left the hospital and
requested post OR follow-up
 Hospital planned for EEG on Day 3
Day 3
 EEG showed activity, Patient NOT
BRAIN DEAD
 DCD Policy reviewed
 Huddle with all Champions: Attending
Physician, Nurse Manager, Charge
Nurse, Bedside Nurse, Respiratory
Therapist, Palliative Care, Risk
Manager and House Supervisor
Day 3
 Patient placed on CPAP and shallow
breaths were observed; attending
physician determined that there was a
high probability that the patient would
not survive longer than 60 minutes
 Palliative Care informed the family that
EEG showed activity
 Family confirmed that they wanted to
proceed with donation
The Next Steps
 Attending physician
aware that he will be
pronouncing the patient
 OR scheduled for
18:30pm
 16:00pm patient’s sister

The Next Steps
 Attending physician

 Patient’s mother
contacted Palliative care
and verified consent for
donation
OR Delayed
 Attending physician left

delegates pronouncement
to Hospitalists or ED
physician; no new OR time
set
 Risk Manager contacted
