Patient Care Protocol Document: prtcl_dcd.doc Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death [Pre-Mortem] Site Setting/Population Clinician BCH Only ICU/OR/All Patients with Circulatory Determination of Death All Clinicians Reference The Senior Clinical Leadership Council (SCLC) approves the following eligibility criteria for DCDD: Competent adults and mature or emancipated minors with donor cards or on a donor registry (i.e. first-person consent basis). For families and children of all ages who are deemed eligible for DCDD and are likely to die within one hour of withdrawing the ventilator. Donation of any organ provided this is performed without changing the protocol, specifically the time to death criteria and current limitations to pre-mortem interventions. The Organ Donation Oversight Committee (ODOC) will evaluate exceptions to the protocol on a case-by-case basis, with the final decision resting with the SCLC. The Organ Donation Oversight Committee (ODOC) is responsible for the DCDD protocol at BCH and ensuring that safeguards are followed, in particular the separation of WLST and DCDD processes. The clinical director of each ICU will contact an ODOC member to provide advice and direction as needed, particularly when requests for DCDD are outside or exceptions to the protocol. The ODOC member will bring these requests to the ODOC, GCICU Chair, and either the Physician-in-Chief or Surgeon-in-Chief. Process Ideally, the progression through this algorithm occurs in a very deliberate and unhurried fashion in order to allow families and staff time to develop questions and have their questions answered. An ethics consult may be called at any time by staff or family when there are concerns about the decision or process. Staff may opt out from participation in the DCDD process at any time if they are uncomfortable or opposed to the decision.

Patient Care Protocol Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death [Pre-Mortem] Patient Care Protocol: Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (Pre-Mortem) ICU Referral & Consent Process DECISION TO WITHDRAW SUPPORT: ICU team and patient s family decide together to withdraw life-sustaining treatments (WLST) according to usual and customary practices at BCH, and independent of any concerns for organ donation. NEOB REFERRAL: ICU Attending (or designee) calls NEOB to refer patient as soon as possible after the decision to WLST PATIENT EVALUATION: In collaboration with ICU team, NEOB evaluates patient for contraindications to donation, organ viability, and the likelihood that patient will die within 1 hour of WLST If the NEOB decides the patient is candidate for DCDD COLLABORATIVE APPROACH: NEOB and ICU team decide together who will introduce NEOB involvement to family. NEOB meets with family and ICU team to ascertain family's interest in organ donation (consent forms not filled out at this time). If the family decides that they are interested in DCDD TEAM MEETING: to address any possible conflicts of interest and anticipate any clinical/ethical concerns that should be addressed in the informed consent process. The 8 Foundational Conditions for Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death, as determined by the DCDD Task Force and approved by the MSEC and SCLC, must be reviewed and met before continuing. BCH DCDD consent form should be reviewed. Unit clinical and nursing directors should be notified of the preparations for meeting and should notify one of the unit s ODOC representatives if necessary. Meeting participants include the ICU team (MDs, RNs, RTs, SW), any pertinent consultants (neurosurgery, psychology, PACT, etc), pastoral care, and NEOB. Consider ethics consult for assistance with any ethical concerns. FAMILY MEETING/CONSENT: NEOB and ICU team meet with family to introduce NEOB and offer DCDD. CONSENT: BCH DCDD Consent is obtained by ICU Attending (or designee) and NEOB consent is obtained by NEOB. Both teams describe the basics of DCDD protocol and answer questions. PRE-MORTEM MEETING: Meeting to review the protocol, timing, roles, and responsibilities. Meeting participants include the ICU Team, the OR Team, and the NEOB. DCDD PREPARATIONS: NEOB organizes and arranges for DCDD, including contacting transplant surgeons and establishing time frame for organ procurement with family and staff. ICU Charge Nurse contacts the AOD. (*see ICU Management Considerations) *ICU Management Considerations ICU clinicians continue to manage the patient after the cessation of circulation and through the 5-minute acirculatory period until death is is declared. The ICU clinician will accompany the patient from OR A to OR P, declare death after 5 minutes of acirculation, and hand over care to Anesthesia and Surgery at that time. Should the patient have auto-resuscitation, the ICU clinician will continue to care for the patient while accompanying him/her back to the ICU for continued end-of-life care. NEOB or transplant surgeons may not alter or intervene with the patient s management or WLST. No pre-mortem interventions that may harm the patient or hasten death. The child will be protected from pain and suffering, consistent with established practices in end-of-life care at BCH. Minor interventions to help preserve organ function prior to WLST and organ procurement, such as fluid administration and adjustments to the ventilator or inspired oxygen concentration could be necessary if if the WLST or donation process is is delayed because of timing, logistics, or to allow family members to arrive. Possible interventions will be included in the informed consent signed by the parents or guardian. If If a major change or deterioration in the patient s condition occurs requiring an escalation of hemodynamic or ventilatory support to keep the patient alive and maintain organ viability, immediate consultation between the ICU, NEOB, and family must be undertaken. There will be no major interventions or escalation to patient care, namely cardiopulmonary resuscitation (defibrillation and chest compressions) or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). Percutaneous placement of a peripheral arterial or intravenous catheter for access for blood draws or monitoring purposes prior to DCDD may be considered provided this can be done without harm or prolonged discomfort to the patient, and after discussion with the staff and consent from the family.

Patient Care Protocol Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death [Pre-Mortem] Withdrawal of Life Support in the OR TRANSPORT FROM ICU TO OR: Prior to transport, 2 adjacent operating rooms will be set up by OR RN staff. OR RNs meet family in ICU prior to transport. Time Out : briefing will occur between the ICU, OR and NEOB staff in the ICU prior to transport. WITHDRAWAL OF LIFE SUSTAINING TREATMENT IN OR: The process for WLST will follow established and customary practices as for any patient, including the administration of analgesic and sedation medications as needed for the patient s comfort, as determined by the ICU team and the OR RNs. HEPARINIZATION: When the patient becomes hypotensive, and prior to acirculation, heparin 300 units/ kg will be administered to the patient (mean BP < 50 if older than 10 yrs, mean BP < 40 if 1-10 years, and mean BP < 30 if < 1 year.) OR A (ACIRCULATION) No Acirculation within 1 hr of WLST NO ACIRCULATION: If perfusing rhythm remains after 1 hour, patient and family transported back to ICU Acirculation within 1 hr of WLST ACIRCULATION: Acirculation is confirmed by absence of a palpable pulse and heart sounds by auscultation, and confirmed by either 1) the loss of pulsatility on the arterial line waveform, or 2) the absence of contraction and ejection of blood by echocardiography. Loss of mechanical activity (ejection of blood) by the heart may occur prior to loss of electrical activity on an ECG tracing. After acirculation confirmed, patient placed on OR table or stretcher and taken into OR P Note: Visiting transplant surgeons will be briefed by NEOB about the BCH protocol, and wait in an adjacent but separate area of the OR, out of sight to the family and WLST. They will be updated as to the course of the patient, including vital signs recorded every 5 minutes by one of the OR nurses and communicated to NEOB staff. Family waits either in dedicated waiting area of OR, chapel, or ICU. Dedicated ICU RNs for patient and family. Bed space in ICU preserved for patient until transported to hospital morgue. Post procurement, patient transported to morgue if if family have left, or back to the ICU for viewing and time with the family if if desired. Once the DCDD procedure has been completed, procedure debriefing to be conducted by ICU, OR and NEOB staff. OR P (PROCUREMENT) PROCUREMENT PREPARATIONS: Patient positioned on table, prepped and draped for surgery by OR nurse. Parents may wait in OR A until absence of auto-resuscitation has been confirmed Auto-resuscitation within 5 mins of acirculation AUTO-RESUSCITATION: Autoresuscitation occurs, DCDD is cancelled and patient is transported back to ICU No auto-resuscitation within 5 mins of acirculation DECLARATION OF DEATH: No auto-resuscitation within 5 minutes of acirculation. Death is declared by ICU Attending. PROCUREMENT (Procedure per surgery & NEOB) Boston Children s Hospital, 2015 All rights reserved Publication Date 08/07/14 Page 3 of 5

Patient Care Protocol Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death [Pre-Mortem] Related Content DCDD on ECMO Patients who are dependent on ECMO or other mechanical circulatory support may be candidates for DCDD organ donation after the family and clinical team have decided to withdraw life support in anticipation of the patient s death. When a decision is made to attempt DCDD organ donation, the patient is transported on mechanical circulatory support to OR A. Palliative care, including use of analgesics and sedatives, is administered using the same parameters as for non-potential-donors. The patient is separated from mechanical circulatory support. Cannulae are left in place and clamped or capped, and the mechanical circulatory device is discontinued. The patient is either extubated or placed on ventilator settings of room air with no rate or positive pressure. All medications and interventions that do not contribute to the patient s comfort are discontinued (e.g., vasopressors and antiarrythmic medications). The patient is observed for acirculation. Mechanical circulatory support should not be resumed under any circumstances. Follow the existing patient care protocol, as follows: Acirculation confirmed by absence of a palpable pulse and heart sound by auscultation, and confirmed by either: loss of pulsatility on the arterial line waveform, or absence of contraction and ejection of blood by echocardiography When the patient becomes hypotensive, and prior to acirculation, heparin 300 units/kg will be administered to the patient (this should be administered even though the patient has already been anticoagulated for mechanical circulatory support): mean BP < 50 (older than 10 yrs) mean BP < 40 (1-10 yrs) mean BP < 30 (< 1 yr) If acirculation occurs, patient is transported to OR P. If no autoresuscitation after 5 minutes, death is declared. Organs are procured in the standard fashion. Mechanical circulatory support is not reinstituted. If perfusing rhythm remains after one hour, patient and family are transported back to ICU. Cannulae should be left in place for transport back to the ICU and continued palliative care. If prolonged survival is anticipated, the cannulae may be removed after return to the ICU. Boston Children s Hospital, 2015 All rights reserved Publication Date 08/07/14 Page 4 of 5
