15/ DCD + NRP Fundamentals:
~5-minute observation
~Death declared before perfusion
~Cerebral circulation excluded
~Real-time organ assessment
~Expands heart transplant + improves transplant outcomes across multiple organs.
When the heart stops, it may still save a life. 🫀

DCD + NRP — When the Heart Stops… Can It Beat Again?
1/ The heart has stopped. 🫀
5️⃣ minutes pass. ⏱️
Could that same heart be transplanted into another patient ❓
Yes ‼️
Welcome to Donation After Circulatory Death (DCD).

[SCCM Midwest Chapter @SCCMMW]

14/ The bigger picture:
Technology is expanding the donor pool.
NRP + ex-vivo perfusion are transforming what was once “non-viable.”
Critical care doesn’t stop at death.
It enables legacy. 🕊️
