Intensive care unit
Discussing organ and tissue donation is best done by someone with knowledge, skill, confidence and empathy. Organ donation should not be discussed until the family has understood that death is inevitable. This discussion should not be done prematurely. This usually requires several family meetings. The ODNZ medical specialist is available for advice and support.
