Pediatric Donation After Cardiac Death (DCD) Julie Vaupel-Phillips, MHA, RN, CCRN Director of PICU and ETS Services CHOC Children’s Hospital

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 transplantLiterature 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(DCD) DCD offers an option to patients and families who may wish donation to occur after life sustaining equipment is withdrawn, and death is determined by cardiopulmonary criteria.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 DeathThings to think about:Some children die despite all our effortsDeath is not a failureDeath 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 essentialThe patient must always be provided comfort measures

Things to C onsider with PEDS DCDThe 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 femaleTwin AFound unresponsive in cribAsystolic when arrived in EDMetabolic workup positive for fatty acid oxidative defectParents informed of poor prognosisFamily requested withdrawal of support and asked about organ donationOneLegacy contactedConsent 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 16:00Flight 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 emergencyFlight 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 otherExpect the unexpectedDevelop 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 responsibilitiesPost case debrief (OPO & hospital) for staff involvedLearn something from every caseDCD is patient/family centered care

Their lives depend on it!

Thank you.

Donation at St. Mary Medical CenterOrgan donors 2000-20117 Organ Donors5 brain dead2 DCD (2006 and 2011)17 organs recovered14 organs transplanted 3 organs for placed for research

Day 1: Admission45/MStatus post cardio-pulmonary arrestAreflexicMedical history methamphetamine use, high cholesterol, & diabetesDown 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

Day 2: OneLegacy ConsultFamily wanted to extubate that eveningAwaiting OneLegacy’s arrival to discuss donationPatient’s mother initiated donation topic stating… It was a difficult decision but she wanted her son to save lives through donation.

Day 2: OneLegacy ConsultOneLegacy 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-upHospital planned for EEG on Day 3

Day 3EEG 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 3Patient 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 StepsAttending physician aware that he will be pronouncing the patientOR scheduled for 18:30pm16:00pm patient’s sister called the unit hysterical; the bedside nurse referred caller to speak with the patient’s mother

The Next StepsAttending physician became concerned with recent phone call from patient’s sister and requested a second teleconference with the family to confirm donation choicePatient’s mother contacted Palliative care and verified consent for donation

OR DelayedAttending physician left hospital at 19:00pm and delegates pronouncement to Hospitalists or ED physician; no new OR time setRisk Manager contacted the Medical Director who instructed the Attending to return to SMRM to pronounce the patient in OR

The Gift of LifeOR: Pt extubated 20:35pm; pronounced by Attending Physician at 20:59pm (24 minutes)Outcomes: Right Kidney placed locally 61 Female on waiting list 2, 899 days Left Kidney placed locally 60 Male on waiting list 2, 833 days Liver and pancreas placed for research
