Informative Speech On Organ Donation
How important is organ donation to you? Do you care how organs are persevered before they are transplanted into a recipient? Have you ever thought about how the process works, or who the individuals are that make it happen? If not, I will describe to you why Catherine Morse Ed.D, MSN, CRNA, APN, believes you should question and learn more about the subject, as there is an increasing need for organ transplants across our nation with each passing moment. The care and management of a donor’s organs and protocol to be followed is crucial to saving the lives of the intended recipients, as well as maintaining the viability of the organs to be donated.

She adds that, “In the United States, BDDs comprise the largest segment of available donor pools, and most BDD organ procurement procedures are performed in community hospitals or rural settings” (Morse, 2017). Morse also suggests that, “Evidence supports a multidisciplinary approach to managing the BDD, which offers a better opportunity for successful organ survival after transplantation” (Morse, 2017). While she contends, “The collaborative role of the CRNA immediately before and during organ procurement is an important progression to a successful outcome” (Morse, …show more content…
Morse does a great job of including knowledgeable information within the article. Notably, organs needing to be extremely well cared for and transplanted in a timely manner. Another important aspect is the size of the organs being received by a recipient, as that can change the outcome of the procedure. If an organ is too large, it will not be a good match, causing the organ to no longer be viable. Morse does say that although in most cases, they do not transplant organs from individuals with diseases like Hepatitis C, in some cases, they may be used for an individual that has the same disease already. She states, “As the need for organ donors are increasing, and the lack of BDDs, they are widening the scope to find more available organs to transplant” (Morse, 2017). Though Morse states she would like these changes to be implemented, she does not offer any suggestions as to how the process could be more
