Overview

The scientific study of the dying process has not received attention. In the context of organ donation, specifically donation after cardiocirculatory death, clarity around what happens during the dying process is especially important. Some have been concerned that auto resuscitation , the spontaneous return of circulation after the heat stops, makes determining how long the “hands off” time to wait after the heart stops, must be. Most areas that do DCD have a wait time of 5 minutes but there is variability…2-20 min. Dr. Sonny Dhanani is the lead author of an international study that was a NEJM publication that studied the events at death.
