The Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance (The Alliance) is pleased to present the first national DCD Educational Guide, an interdisciplinary resource designed to outline effective practices for building a robust organ donation after circulatory death (DCD) program within hospital settings. This guide represents a significant milestone in our community's efforts to enhance the organ donation and transplantation process, ensuring that more lives can be saved through the gift of organ donation.

The development of this guide was driven by a shared commitment to advancing the field of organ donation and transplantation. By bringing together experts from diverse disciplines, including the American Society of Transplantation (AST), the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), Donate Life America (DLA), the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the The Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (ASATA), and several organ procurement organizations, we have created a comprehensive resource that addresses the complexities and challenges of DCD programs. The insights and strategies presented in this guide are rooted in the effective practices from programs across the country, offering practical solutions to improve outcomes for donors and recipients alike.
