ICU Management of the Organ Donor Bradley J. Phillips, MD Burn-Trauma-ICU Adults & Pediatrics
Case • 19 yof unrestrained MVC • Unresponsive at scene • P 120, SBP 70, agonal breathing • Intubated at scene, IV’s • Transported to BMC
Case • Primary exam • ET in place with CO2 • BS bilaterally • BP 80 • Neuro - pupil dilated/fixed, unresponsive • Secondary exam • significant head soft tissue/bony trauma • distended abdomen
Case • IVF/Blood • NGT/Foley • Labs drawn • Xrays • CXR/pelvis/lat cspine - negative • CTH - open skull fracture, massive swelling, loss of ventricular space, frontal SDH • CTA - negative
Issues • Brain Death • Organ Donation • Management of the Donor
Brain Death • Brain death = Death • General criteria • cerebral and brain stem functions absent • do NOT include spinal reflexes • condition is irreversible • cessation of all brain function persists after an appropriated period of observation and adequate trial of therapy
Brain Death • Guidelines • detailed neurologic exam • off any sedative drugs • normothermic • confirmatory neuro exam 6-12 hours later • ? Confirmatory test • apnea test • radionuclide cerebral imaging • Xe-CT cerebral blood flow • 4-vessel angiogram
Brain Death • Pronounced as soon as brain death occurs • Cardiac arrest usually 72 hours after brain death
Organ Donation • Consideration of patients as organ donors should in no way interfere with treatment • Required by law to report patients to Organ Bank • “Presumed Consent” • Patients failing criteria for whole organ donation frequently meet tissue donation criteria • Heart Beating vs Non-beating donors
General no cancer except skin or brain no systemic infection no hepatitis no h/o TB/syphilis no h/o IVDA no prolonged hypotension or asystole no ARF/CRF ? Age < 70 Specific Cr < 1.8, BUN < 20 No hypertension (K) No UTI (K) No diabetes (P) No visible lung damage by CXR (Lu) PaO2 > 250 on <=100% Nl EKG/no CAD (H) Sputum clear on Bronch (Lu) Nl liver function tests (Li) Donor Criteria
Donor Management • Concerns • Temperature • Hemodynamics/perfusion • Oxygenation • Urine output
Case • Initial neuro exam no brain stem function • VS: HR 100 SBP 120 RR 12 UOP 300 cc/hr • Labs • Hct 38 • ABG pH 7.48/32/112/24 (SIMV 14/600/40%) • Na 147/K 3.0/Cl 108/Cr 0.4/BUN 18 • Tox + opiates
Case • 12 hours later • VS: HR 120 SBP 90 RR 12 UOP 400 cc/hr • Neuro exam: no brain stem function • LABS • HCT 45 • NA 167/K 4.5/Cl 118 • pH 7.50/30/100/28 (SIMV 14/700/40%)
Donor Management • Maintain core temperature > 35 C • Restore normal circulatory volume • Support blood pressure • Hydration • Pressors (norepi or dopamine) • minimal dose possible • Treat hyperglycemia (>180) • insulin qtt • Treat cardiac arrest agressively
Donor Management • Monitor electrolytes closely • if hypernatremia = D5 1/4 NS • if UOP > 500 cc/hr lower D5 and no KCL • Maintain brisk diuresis • UOP 1-2 cc/kg • IVF • UOP 1-2 cc/kg use D5 1/2 NS c 20 meq KCL • UOP > 2 cc/kg use replacement IVF cc for cc
Diabetes Insipidus (DI) • Impairment of water conservation (pure water) • Suspect Diabetes Insipidus • Trauma involving hypothalamus/pituitary • UOP > 500 cc/hr ( 7 cc/kg/hr) • Na > 150 mEq/L • Serum Osm > 310 • Low urine sodium
Diabetes Insipidus • Management • Replace free water (D5W or D5 1/4 NS) • Drugs • DDAVP • SQ or nasal • SQ 0.03 mg/kg • Pitressin • IV or SQ • IV 0.4 to 2.5 units/hr • Adjust UOP to 100-200 cc/hr • Follow serum Na
End Points of Therapy • SBP: 100-120 mm Hg • CVP: 8-20 mm Hg • PAWP 12-15 mmHg • PaO2: 80-100 mm Hg • SaO2: > 95% • UOP: 100-200 ml/hr (1-2 cc/kg) • pH: 7.35-7.35 • Hgb: 10-12 g/dl
Donor Labs • Common • Chemistry/CBC/ Coags • ABO blood group • CXR/EKG • Urinalysis • Uncommon • LFT/Amylase/lipase • Hepatitis/HIV/CMVscreen • Urine /blood/sputum cultures • Bronchoscopy/Echo/Catheterization
Transplantation Facts • Maximum organ preservation times • heart/lung 4-6 hrs • pancreas 8-16 hrs • liver 12-24 hrs • kidney 24-36 hrs

On Death Row, China's Source of Transplants THE gruesome details of China's trade in human organs harvested from Death Row were revealed in detail for the first time in Washington last week by a young doctor from the People's Republic newly fled to the West. As horror stories, they compare with the experiments carried out in Nazi concentration camps. Prisoners are killed to order so that doctors can take their body parts, including - in at least one case - while a victim's heart was still beating. Wang Guoqi, 38, speaking to congressmen, confirmed that condemned men, and sometimes women, are executed to order so that their organs can be transplanted into wealthy recipients from the West and Far East. Dr Wang was a burns specialist at the Paramilitary Police Hospital in Tianjin, under the control of the People's Liberation Army, whose senior generals are believed to make large profits from the trade. He claims that after execution, bodies were taken to the hospital where every part that could be sold was stripped from the corpse
