41 Who are the Candidates? Patients with severe neurological injury Intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, anoxia, trauma Patients without neurological injury Degenerative neuromuscular diseases End-stage cardiopulmonary diseases

42 Who are the Candidates? Do not meet the criteria for brain death No chance for survival off the ventilator Family and physician elect to withdraw support

43 Where Will Withdrawal of Support Occur? Operating Room Family in attendance Family not in attendance Intensive Care Unit

44 What Happens if the Patient Does Not Expire? Occurs in up to 20% of cases Pre-donation discussion with family, physicians and nurses Patient transferred to pre-determined unit Treating team remains responsible for patient care

45 Which Organs? Presently; kidney, liver, pancreas Lungs and on rare occasions heart described Abt PL et al. JACS 2006;203:

49 arrhythmias hypotension DI DIC acidosis pulmonary edema hypothermia

50 arrhythmias hypotension DI DIC acidosis pulmonary edema hypothermia

51 Wood et al NEJM 2004;351:

52 Hemodynamic Instability Organ Loss up to 25% Cardiovascular Collapse

53 Why? Hemodynamic instability Autonomic dysfunction Hypovolemia Aerobic to anaerobic metabolism Release of vasoactive inflammatory mediators Low levels of T 3, T 4, cortisol, insulin Reversal with replacement of T 3

54 Cardiovascular Collapse?? A fluid problem. A hormonal problem An attention problem Donor management is key to preventing collapse

55 New Terminology Catastrophic Brain Injury Guidelines (CBIG s) Goal to maintain hemodynamic stability in patients with devastating brain injury

56 What are CBIG s? Hemodynamic Management Invasive monitoring with endpoints

57 Hemodynamic Management Target criteria MAP > 60 PCWP 8-12 CVP 4-12 CI > 2.4 SVR Dopamine < 10

58 What are CBIG s? Hemodynamic Management Invasive monitoring with endpoints Hormonal therapy T3 or T4 Methylprednisolone Vasopressin

59 Hormone Therapy Rapid IV bolus of: 1 amp 50% dextrose 20 units insulin 2 g Solumedrol 20 mcg T 4 Continuous T 4 infusion at 10 mcg/h T 4 only used in hemodynamically unstable donors (combined vasopresssor dose > 10mcg/kg/min)

60 Actions of T3

61 What are CBIG s? Ventilator Management Appropriate tidal volumes (10 cc/kg) Prevent atelectasis Recruitment maneuvers Fluid restriction (diuretics) Bronchoscopy (frequent suctioning) Prevent aspiration (elevate HOB)

62 What are CBIG s? Management of complications Anemia Coagulopathy DI Electrolyte imbalances Arrhythmia's

Arterial Blood Gas ph PaO2:FiO2 (P:F) > 300 on PEEP = 5 7. Serum Na meq/l 8. Blood Glucose < 150 mg/dl 9. Hemoglobin (Hb) > 10 mg/dl 10. Urine Output (averaged over 4 hours) 1-3 cc/kg/hr
