[Organ Donation from the Perspective of Certified Anesthesiology Nurses]

Organ Donation from the Perspective of Certified Anesthesiology Nurses Abstract. Abstract: The certified experts in anesthesia nursing are responsible for a holistic process of anesthesia care. This includes demanding, high-quality and safety-oriented service in the field of anesthesia and pain medicine for patients of all age groups and health conditions. Depending on their institution and working environment, these experts will also deliver patient care in the case of organ donation and/or transplantation. In this highly specialized field, certified anesthesiology nurses take on many coordi-native, planning, preparatory and technical tasks in addition to direct patient care. Long-term success of organ donation and transplantation requires an extraordinarily close and careful cooperation between many different disciplines and professions. Only in this way will patients benefit from optimal results, i.e. gain many additional years with high quality of life.
