ORGAN DONATION FACT SHEET ● Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). ● The organs that can be donated in Ireland are: the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and pancreas. ● Organ donation may only be considered when a person is on a life-support machine and declared brain stem dead. This means that the brain has been irreversibly damaged and the person is deceased. This usually results from a severe brain injury. Two independent doctors verify the diagnosis. ● The family/next-of-kin are approached by hospital staff and asked to consider donating their loved one’s organs. They have the final say when it comes to organ donation. ● Time is of the essence. Organs must be transplanted as soon as possible after they are removed from the donor. If this does not happen they become unusable. The heart and lungs need to be transplanted as soon as possible. ● A recipient is chosen by computer matching of the patients currently on the various transplant waiting lists. ● A person’s body is not disfigured in any way after donation. ● If a transplant recipient wishes to contact the donor family, to thank them, or let them know how they are doing, it must be done anonymously. The identity of both the donor and recipient remains confidential. All correspondence is conducted through the National Transplant Co-ordinator’s office. ● Kidney donations are often received from living donors, as a healthy person can lead a normal life with only one working kidney. This usually involves one family member donating to another family member. ● There is a severe shortage of organs for life-saving transplants. In Ireland there are over 600 people in immediate need of organ transplants. Without these surgeries, people will die. With transplants they have the chance to resume full productive lives. ● In Ireland you can request an organ donor card by free texting DONOR to 50050 or downloading an Ecard app for your smart phone. You can also tick the organ donor option on your driving licence application form. These methods indicate your wishes but the most important thing is to speak to your family/next-of-kin. They have the final say when it comes to organ donation. ● There is no set age limit on who can donate. You do NOT have to be 18. Just ensure your family/next-of-kin are aware of your wishes
