PicPod2 is all about organ donation, and the wider issues around it. We discuss brain stem testing, rates of consent, and the use of muscle relaxants in end of life situations. It might be a little heavy, but it’s important. Promise to lighten up a bit next time.
The papers we have based this discussion on are:
, et al: Current status of paediatric and neonatal organ donation in the UK.
and
Carone L, Alurkar S, Kigozi P, Vyas H. Organ and tissue donation in a regional paediatric intensive care unit: evaluation of practice. Eur J Pediatr. 2018 May;177(5):709-714.
