Organ Donation, that difficult conversation
How do we approach parents about organ donation? In the second episode of the ADC Spotlight, Rachel Agbeko invites an intensivist, Dr Susan Bratton, (Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA) and a psychologist, Dr Anne-Sophie Darlington (School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, UK) to talk about end of life care for children and organ donation. They are the authors of two papers available for free for a month on the ADC website: - Parents’ experiences of requests for organ and tissue donation: The value of asking: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/05/10/archdischild-2018-316382
- Bereaved ICU Parental End of Life Care Goals: Including Organ Donation Regardless of Eligibility: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/05/25/archdischild-2019-317214.
