  9. Session Objectives 9 Organ Donation Past, Present and Future Organ Donation Past, Present and Future • Understand difficulties with donor identification and referral • Recognise benefits of improving elements of the process • Increased identification and referral • Timely referral • Responsiveness to referral • Consider which of the proposed methods of identification and referral may work in your hospital

  14. Aims of Strategy • 100% Identification of potential Donors • 100% Referral of Potential Donors • 100% Timely Referral • Implement NICE Guidance The consideration of donation should be core ICU / ED and part of all end of life care plans. Timely referral promotes this possibility Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  17. NICE Guideline 135 Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  18. British Medical Association 2012 The research data -------- showed that the use of clinical triggers and a requirement to refer according to standard criteria led to an increase in both referrals and donors. It is hoped that implementation of the NICE guideline will result in early and consistent donor referral. Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  19. General Medical Council 2010 I”f a patient is close to death and their views cannot be determined, you should be prepared to explore with those close to them whether they had expressed any views about organ or tissue donation, if donation is likely to be a possibility.” “You should follow any national procedures for identifying potential organ donors and, in appropriate cases, for notifying the local transplant coordinator.” Decisions to limit or withdraw treatments in potential DCD donors MUST be in compliance with national End of Life Care policy. Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  20. UK Donation Ethics Committee “There is no ethical dilemma if the treating clinician wishes to make contact with the SN-OD at an early stage, while the patient is seriously ill and death is likely, but before a formal decision has been made to withdraw life-sustaining treatment.” [“Benefits] include establishing whether there are contra-indications for organ donation…… Other practical and organisational factors might be relevant – if the SN-OD is based at a distant location then early contact can help to minimise distressing delays for the family.” Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  21. Objectives, benefits and outcomes All potential donors are identified and referred All patients are given the option of donation Access to clinical advice Prompt donor optimisation Resolution of potential legal obstacles Early assessment of marginal donors Early tissue typing / screening Planning the family approach Reduction in delays for families and units All donors are referred in a timely fashion SN-ODs are deployed in a way that improves responsiveness Increased donor numbers Improved consent / authorisation rates Increase in donor organs Better experience for families and staff Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  22. NHSBT Strategy • Implementation not publication • Key area for collaboration between hospitals and donor care teams • Very clear emphasis on benefits • How not who • Suite of options • Clarity over implementation Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  23. Strategy proposals • Every hospital should have a written policy for the identification and timely referral of all potential donors • Every donating area within a given hospital adopts a consistent approach • As far as possible ‘decouple’ early referral from individual clinician Donation Committees and SN-OD teams should collaborate to develop and implement a policy that ensures that all potential donors are identified and referred in a timely fashion.

  31. Summary • Donation should be a element of end of life care • Make identification and referral routine business of the unit. • This decouples early referral from the individual clinician caring for the patient • Implement or develop a solutions /policy for your individual hospitals adopt to timely referral • Ensure consistency within a given hospital Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  32. Organ Donation Past, Present and Future

  33. What are the barriers to implementing the NICE guidelines in your unit: any solutions? • Whichever is the earlier, either: • Use trigger factors in patients with a catastrophic brain injury • The absence of one or more cranial nerve reflexes • AND a GCS of 4 or less that is not explained by sedation • And / or a decision is made to perform brainstem death tests. • The intention to withdraw life-sustaining treatment in patients with a life-threatening or life-limiting condition which will, or is expected to, result in circulatory death.
