8.  Samantha: is an inexperienced teenage driver who hydroplaned into oncoming traffic which resulted in a head-on crash. Samantha is rushed to the hospital Emergency Room with head injuries from a car accident. Her head injury is causing her brain to swell, cutting off its blood supply. Without blood flow, the brain tissue begins to die

9.  Samantha’s parents rush to the hospital as soon as the hospital calls them. They are hoping that the doctors can save Samantha’s life. The Emergency Department doctors and nurses assure Samantha’s parents that they are doing everything that can to help Samantha, but they explain that her head injury is severe and she may not recover.

10.  In the Emergency Room, the doctors and nurses try to save Samantha’s life. Because she had stopped breathing on her own, she was put on a ventilator, a machine that supports the body functions and keeps oxygen flowing through her blood. However, her brain swelling has continued and the doctors fear that she no longer has any blood flow to the brain, which means she could be brain dead. The ED physician calls a neurologist, who can do tests to determine the extent of Samantha’s brain injury. The Emergency Department physician and nurses keep Samantha’s parents constantly updated about Samantha’s condition.

11.  A neurologist is a physician who has trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including diseases and injuries of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists perform examinations and tests that can determine – beyond a doubt – whether someone is brain dead. The neurologist performs these tests on Samantha and determines that she is brain dead. The neurologist meets Samantha’s parents in a private waiting area and carefully and sensitively explains this to Samantha’s parents, who are very upset. The neurologist then notifies the organ procurement organization (OPO) because federal regulations require hospitals contact their local OPO in the event of a death or imminent death in their hospital. When the neurologist calls the OPO representative, they discuss Samantha’s medical status and confirm her suitability as a donor.

12.  After speaking with the neurologist, the OPO coordinator arrives at the hospital. The coordinator consults with the neurologist and other hospital staff to make sure that Samantha’s parents understand that Samantha has died before the issue of donation is ever raised. The OPO coordinator is there because under state and federal regulations, families of potential donors must be offered the option of donation. The OPO coordinator, in conjunction with hospital staff, discusses options with Samantha’s parents and answers all of their questions. Samantha’s parents think that donation is something that Samantha would want, as she told them so when she got her driver’s license. After calling other family members and talking by themselves, Samantha’s parents decide to donate her organs, eyes and tissues. They give their written consent for donation. The OPO coordinator discusses Samantha’s medical/social history with her parents to determine possible medical problems or social behavior that could put a recipient at risk. The OPO coordinator also does a thorough physical exam.

13.  The OPO coordinator assumes care of Samantha in the hospital. Because she is brain dead, her body is maintained by artificial means on a ventilator and stabilized with fluids and medications. Tests are conducted to determine which organs are suitable for transplant. Medical information about Samantha is sent to the United Network for Organ Sharing for matching of potential recipients.

14.  The OPO coordinator receives a list of possible “matches” from UNOS, the agency that maintains the national transplant waiting list. The coordinator calls the transplant center for the patient at the top of the list for each organ. It is up to the patient’s transplant surgeon to accept the organ. If declined, the next patient’s surgeon is contacted. This process continues until all organs are placed

15.  Once all organs are placed, the OPO coordinator arranges for an operating room and coordinates the arrival of the transplant surgery teams. In the operating room, the surgeons remove the organs in a surgical procedure that is extremely respectful of the nature of the gift that has been given. The organs are cooled and preserved with special solutions while he transplant teams immediately return to their hospitals to perform the transplant surgeries.

16.  Next Samantha’s tissues and corneas were recovered and then her body was sent to the funeral home. Samantha’s parents decided to have an open casket service.

17.  In a few weeks, the OPO and the Eyebank will send letters to Samantha’s family thanking them for Samantha’s gift and giving some basic information about the recipients, excluding names. For a period of time after the donation, the OPO also offers families grief resources, counseling referrals, invitations to events to honor and remember their loved ones, and coordination of donor family/recipient correspondence.
