Considering the level of evidence built up and method of suicide / death the likelihood for organ donation is not an option.
- Organ donation criteria not met
- Criteria for withholding resuscitation met, therefore delaying access to the patient
- Becomes a recovery mission, and not an immediate rescue
- Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment
- Are advanced directives visible and how would that change your approach?
- No visible chest rise and proper documentation would not warrant resuscitation
- Protocols vary per state
