Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Transplantation Science
  • Respiratory Physiology

Background:

  • Organ procurement coordinators manage mechanical ventilators for organ donors.
  • Achieving optimal gas exchange without causing harm is challenging.

Observation:

  • Mechanical ventilation involves complex interactions between parameters.
  • Key parameters include tidal volume, PEEP, auto-PEEP, FiO2, flow rate, and frequency.

Findings:

  • Understanding these interactions is vital for maximizing organ viability.
  • Ventilator settings directly influence peak, plateau, mean, and end-expiratory airway pressures.

Implications:

  • This review provides recommendations for ventilator management in organ donors.
  • Properly managed ventilation supports the goal of providing high-quality organs for transplantation.
