The Institute of Medicine and the Society of Critical Care Medicine have supported an expansion of the donor pool beyond conventional donors after brain death (DBD). Terminally ill patients undergoing elective withdrawal of life support may donate organs as donors after circulatory determination of death (DCDD). This type of donation has been supported by the Institute of Medicine, Society of Critical Care Medicine, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. 1–4 Recent studies have shown that transplant recipient outcomes using DCDD organs are largely comparable to DBD after kidney, kidney-pancreas, lung, and liver transplantation. 5–9
