The current status of a national The current status of a national issue that continues to escalateissue that continues to escalate• The need for organs is clearly evident with
a growing transplant waiting list that has now exceeded 112,000 people
• In 2010• 7,168 people died waiting for a needed organ*• 3,643 were removed from the wait list
because they became too sick to transplant• 109 deaths were children

DCDD donors
UNOS. OPTN data. 2011
Pediatrics patients < 18 years of age
Adult DCDD donors Pediatric DCDD donors
2006: 645 DCD donors 77 pediatric
2007: 793 DCD donors 66 pediatric
2008: 847 DCD donors 73 pediatric
2009: 747 DCD donors 81 pediatric
2010: 939 DCD donors 72 pediatric
All DCDD donors
• 939 DCDD donors in 2010 impacted 1,797 lives by providing additional organs for transplantation
• Renal and some liver grafts from DCDD donors have graft function and transplant recipient survival rates comparable with organs recovered from SCD donors
• Lungs from DCD donors are being recovered and transplanted with good success
•Many hospitals are working to establish policies and identify donors as we all work to find more organs for the growing number of people on the national transplant waiting list
Success with DCDD organs
The facts about pediatric donation
• 1,766 children are waiting for a needed organ*• Children make up 1.5% of the total national
waitlist• Approximately 150 children die annually waiting
for a needed organ and another 50-60 children are removed from the national waiting list because their condition deteriorates making them ineligible for organ transplantation
• Children less than 1 year of age have the highest death rate waiting for an organ

• Organs transplanted per donor•Adults 3.09•Pediatrics 4.06•All donors 3.10
• 24% of hospitals with more than 5 eligible pediatric donors had a 50% or less conversion rate
• 73% of hospitals with more than 5 eligible pediatric donors had 0 DCDD donors

Important options for neonatal donation
•En bloc neonatal kidney transplants
•Liver cell transfusions as a bridge to transplant for smaller infants with end-stage liver disease
•Use of ABO incompatible hearts for transplantation into infants younger than 1 year of age
•DCD heart transplantation
Our role as champions for donation and transplantation
•The difference between life and death can mean the difference in one organ from one donor
•It’s not all about the “big programs,” it’s about all programs that are designed to save lives
•The impact of many small programs that recover organs from a few donors annually has a significant impact regionally and nationally
•The importance of tissue donation must also continue to be emphasized
Our role as champions for donation and transplantation
•Everyone of us in this room is a champion
•We have the capability to save more lives
•We will save more lives through our hard work dedication to recover more organs and provide better organs for transplantation
• What roles and responsibilities do each of us play during organ donation and end-of-life care for patients and families?
• How can we maximize the opportunity to recover more organs for transplantation to reduce the number of people dying on the national wait list?
• Listen, learn, and teach others
• Be bold: Share your thoughts and experiences
• Focus on what we can do, not what we can’t do
• Remember that our focus is the patient and the family
• We are here to save lives
