9 Why should we teach donation?
10 Chris s Story
11 Did You Know? Hollywood and TV distort reality Your decision doesn t interfere with your medical care You don t have to wait to go to DMV to register All major religions support the decision to donate
12 140,000 The Need for Organ Donors 120, ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20, Waiting List Deceased Donors Living Donors
13 Why is donation so vital? You could fill Autzen Stadium twice over with everyone on the U.S Waiting List! Or Reser Stadium 2.5x! Nearly 8,000 people die each year in the U.S. due to a lack of available organs for transplant (on average, 22 per day). A new name is added to the national transplant list every 10 minutes.
14 80% of everyone waiting needs a kidney Americans are increasingly at risk for conditions which eventually lead to kidney failure: Type II Diabetes* High Blood Pressure* Hispanic, African, Asian, and Native Americans are 3x more likely than Caucasians to suffer these conditions. * Can be prevented or delayed by staying at a healthy weight, eating well and getting exercise.
15 What is it like waiting? The Waiting List
16 # of Local Heroes Every Year 2.5 million Oregonians are registered donors 36,500 Oregonians died in ,603 cornea donors = 1,545 cornea transplants 490 tissue donors = 78,153 tissue transplants 86 organ donors = 270 organ transplants
17
18 True or False: Organ donation is very rare. True. Not everyone who dies can donate organs, because they must pass away under very specific circumstances.
19 3 Criteria for Organ Donors Donor passed away in a hospital. Donor was placed on mechanical ventilator prior to death. Blood and oxygen continue to flow through the vital organs. Severe trauma caused the brain to swell, resulting in brain death. Electricity, blood and oxygen irreversibly cease to flow.
20 The Registry is checked If under 18, the family will be asked to authorize donation TALK TO YOUR FAMILY TODAY! Next Steps If someone CAN be an organ donor
21 Organ Recovery The recovery surgery takes place in an operating room, in the same sterile and careful way as in any surgery. There are no costs to the family for the donation process. Being an organ or tissue donor does not interfere with funeral arrangements. Donor families are offered services and support.
22 Logistics Number of Hours for Viability Heart Lungs Liver Pancreas Kidney Cornea Tissue 4-6 hours 4-6 hours 4-16 hours up to 14 hours up to 36 hours up to 14 hours up to 24 hours
23 Allocation Organs are allocated based on: Blood and tissue type matching Medical urgency Geography/distance Size
24 One organ donor can save up to 8 lives
25 True or False: Donated corneas can restore sight to the blind. True. When the cornea is damaged due to injury, disease, infection or a hereditary condition, corneal transplant surgery may be an option. John s Story
26 Which Tissues Can Be Donated? Jan s Story
27 One tissue & eye donor can save or enhance over 50 lives
28 True or False: Grandma and Grandpa can be donors. True. No one should rule themselves out due to age or health! Additionally, the criteria required for organ donation do not apply to tissue and eye donation. This is why so many more people including the elderly, and even people with health conditions are potentially eligible to save and enhance lives through tissue and/or eye donation.
29 Did you know you can be a living donor? A portion of your liver, it grows back! Very small portion of lung called a lobe Blood and bone marrow A kidney You can donate a kidney to save the life of anyone who matches your blood and tissue type recipients don t have to be a blood relative! Paired and chain donation How safe is it for the donor? Living Donation has nothing to do with registering as a deceased donor. In Oregon, you must be at least 21 to consider living kidney donation.
30 True or False: Receiving a transplant is a cure.
31 Lesson Plan 30 minute lesson to teach donation Grades 9-12 or ages Interactive and engaging activities 6 clearly guided steps
32 Lesson Plan Warm-up: discussion about thoughts Educational Handouts Videos Your Decision to Donate Donation and Transplantation: How does it work? Discussion/ check for understanding Homework
