Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Donation after cardiac death is a scientific strategy for solving organ source in modern China. Numerous studies focused on the relevant indexes of transplant organ recipients and their family members in China and outside China, and donation attitude, influencing factor investigation and relevant ethical problems. Few studies addressed the donors for donation after cardiac death and their family members.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze experience, summarize the information of donor and their family members, check our work and find out the shortcomings we should correct since the First Hospital of Jilin University was appointed as the second pilot organization of Donation of Cardiac Death by Ministry of Public Health of China and Red Cross Society of China in 2011.
METHODS: On the basis of experience of single center pilot, statistical treatment was done in combination with general data, social nature, and recognition of donation after cardiac death of donors and their family members.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The donation after cardiac death in the First Hospital of Jilin University has been gradually regularized and obtained a certain outcome, and some existing problems and common errors are summarized to guide further work. Improvements are as follows: (1) precise measures are used to overcome conventional idea, mental stress and ethical problems of donor’s family members. (2) Try to make vigorous expansion of communication and cooperation with local hospitals. (3) Cannot ignore ethical evaluation and approval. (4) Seriously, accurately, promptly upload donor’s information, and renew recipient’s data in information database at any time. (5) For special cases, group discussion is needed, and the successful or failed experiences of individual cases are explored. (6) It is necessary to train the literacy of team members.
