Ongoing #ECMO? NOT a barrier to organ donation!
️ #ECLS vs non-ECLS patients: similar rate of recovered but not transplanted organs
51% DCD 49% DND = both suitable paths to donation in this population
39% of donors had #OHCA, 51% underwent #ECPR: events and procedures associated with high morbidity do not preclude successful donation
Consideration of patients on ECMO for organ donation can provide a benefit to families, as well as to potential organ recipients.
