This talk will explore the continuing development of Organ Donation after
Cardiac Death as a strategy for addressing the ongoing problem of patients
dying while awaiting vital organ transplant. Key background and procedural
points will provide a framework for discussing ethical questions - including
the environment of managing death, the timing of declaration of death,
pre-mortem interventions, and issues surrounding consent.

Harborview Medical Center, a UW professor of anesthesiology and pain
medicine, and an adjunct professor of neurological surgery. He is Medical
Director of LifeCenter NorthWest and Medical Advisor for the Association of
Organ Procurement Organizations. His research interests include
neuroanesthesia with neurophysiology and monitoring; critical care of
subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury; information technology
in anesthesia and medicine; monitoring technology in anesthesia and critical
care medicine; and management of organ donors.
