Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (DCDD)
bull Pulselessness apnea and unresponsiveness for 2 minutes

bull Dead Donor Rule vital organs can only be removed after a person is dead

bull Entire brain functions
Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (DCDD)
bull Pulselessness apnea and unresponsiveness for 2 minutes

Objectives
bull Assess potential for DCDD among pediatric patients having planned withdrawal of life support
bull Determine factors associated with potential candidates
bull Calculate conversion rates of donors who experience rapid circulatory and neurologic deaths
bull Intermountain Donor Services (organ procurement organization)bull Tracked all ICU patients dying on a ventilator from 2011-2012bull Evaluated eligibility
bull Evaluated difference eligible vs ineligible donors in an ICUbull Demographicsbull Clinical featuresbull Mode of death
