Mid-America Transplant Organ Recvery Center Decisin t Transprt 1. Transprt f the rgan dnr t the Mid-America Transplant Organ Recvery Center helps t cntrl csts, reduce cld ischemic time, decrease surgen travel and imprve the predictability f OR availability. There may be ther benefits. Transprt shuld nt ccur when mvement f the dnr is likely t adversely affect their dnatin ptential. Adverse events during transprt are inversely related t the stability f the dnr and directly related t the time spent in transprt. 2. The decisin is made by the Directr f Organ Prcurement (r designee) in cnsultatin with the clinical crdinatrs and assciate medical directr. In general, mst suitable candidates fr transprt will meet the fllwing criteria: a. Stable airway that includes a cuffed endtracheal r tracheal tube b. An xygen saturatin f 95% n an FiO2 60%, a psitive end expiratry pressure (PEEP) 8 cm H2O and the ability t maintain adequate gas exchange in a cnventinal mde f mechanical ventilatin n a transprt ventilatr c. Nrmal sinus rhythm d. Circulatry supprt limited t dpamine at 10 mcg/kg/min (excluding lw dse vaspressin and thyrid replacement) 3. All ther dnrs will be cnsidered n a case-by-case basis. Pediatric Transprt Cnsideratins 1. Cmplicatins are ften secndary t inadequate stabilizatin f the airway and/r lack f apprpriate mnitring t recgnize disldgement f the ETT r ther devices. The ETT, vascular access lines and chest tubes are shrter and mre easily displaced than similar adult devices. a. Inspect and secure ETT, central lines, arterial lines, chest tubes, fley catheter, NG tubes, etc. prir t transprt b. Mnitr ETCO2, pulse ximetry, ECG and arterial bld pressure during transprt. SOP-ORG-LOC-67, Rev. 7 Page 3 f 24

4 c. The transprt team shuld have the skills and equipment t reestablish a lst pediatric airway using head psitining, jaw thrust, ral airway, lyryngeal mask airway (LMA) and bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilatin. Cmpetency in endtracheal intubatin is preferable althugh LMA and BVM can be used until a skilled individual is available. A cuffed replacement ETT must accmpany the dnr at all times. d. Understanding basic cncepts f mechanical ventilatin and the ptential cmplicatins assciated with psitive pressure ventilatin will be necessary t address gas exchange and hemdynamic prblems. e. In the event venus access is lst, the transprt team shuld be skilled in IV r intrasseus needle placement until vascular access can be (re) established. f. Familiarity with needle drainage f pleural air will be necessary in the event f a pneumthrax until a chest tube can be placed. 2. Cre temperature stability may be cmprmised in infants and small pediatric dnrs during extremes in temperature; bundle dnr accrdingly in cld weather. IV. Organ Specific Testing & Evaluatin Kidney 1.
