    Elective ventilation in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) could increase organ donation rates for patients on dialysis. This approach aligns with ICU care principles and nursing philosophy, addressing organ donation shortfalls.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Intensive Care Medicine
    • Transplantation Science

    Background:

    • Significant shortfall in organ donations, especially for the growing dialysis patient population.
    • Current practices result in missed opportunities for organ procurement from suitable deceased patients.
    • Intensive Care Units (ICUs) possess the necessary infrastructure and expertise for organ donor management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and ethical implications of elective ventilation for organ donation purposes.
    • To explore the role of ICU nursing in facilitating organ donation and supporting families.
    • To determine if elective ventilation aligns with the core philosophy and objectives of ICU care.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of ethical, economic, and resource considerations for elective ventilation.

    • Main Results:

    • Elective ventilation for organ transplantation is ethically and philosophically compatible with ICU care.
    • ICU nursing plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of organ donor protocols.
    • A structured nursing model can effectively manage organ donor care and family needs.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of elective ventilation for organ transplantation is viable and aligns with ICU objectives.
    • Implementing elective ventilation can help mitigate the organ donation shortfall.
    • ICU nursing is integral to maximizing organ donor potential and upholding patient and family dignity.
