A mechanic working on a fancy Harley of the local cardiac surgeon shouted to the doctor across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?" The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, took the valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I’m finished, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...

"Try doing it with the engine running."

The definition of an organ

o

An organ is a structure in a animal that performs a specific function

o

Name a few examples

Examples of organs in the body

What is the largest organ in the body?

Hint……. It weights 9 lbs, 21 sq ft

What is a tissue?

A group of similar cells which act together to perform a particular function Some examples……

Cartilage in the Human body

Bone Marrow and Blood Products

View the power point below

Todd Franzen, MPA Senior Coordinator – Community Relations

Types of donors?

Cerebral (Brain Dead) Death Deceased Donors Cardiac Death ( No viable organs) Living Donors

Brain Death and Coma

All Brain tissue is Dead No blood flow to the brain No electrical activity in the brain NO CHANCE OF RECOVERY A portion of the brain is injured Brain is still receiving blood flow Electrical activity is present Recovery MAY be possible

Deceased Donors: Brain Death

Maintained on a ventilator---- artificial heart beat Possible Donations Heart, Pancreas, Lungs, Intestine, Liver, Kidneys, Bone, Corneas, Heart Valves, Skin, Arteries/Veins, Tendons, Cartilage, Bone Marrow, Blood Process Organs are removed in an operating room while the heart function is maintained with life support.

Deceased Donors: Cardiac Death

No cardiac or respiratory function

Possible Donations Heart/valves, Bone, Corneas, Skin, Arteries/Veins, Tendons, Muscles, Cartilage hours Process Retrieved in a sterile setting, can be up to 24

Living Donors:

Living individuals who may or may not be related to the recipients. Can start a donor chain Possible Donations Kidney, Partial liver, partial lung, bone marrow and blood testing.

Process Potential donors undergo screenings and compatibility

How does the waiting List work?

http://www.donors1.org/patient/waitinglist/

In order to best understand how a waiting list works, let’s look at the handout, page 17

Average Median Wait Time to Transplant

•Kidney – 5 years •Liver – 11 months •Heart – 4 months •Lung – 4 months •Kidney / Pancreas – 1.5 years •Pancreas – 2 years

Rejection of an organ or tissue

Read III.B Background: Science handout

Write your thoughts to the following questions.

If you were in charge of the distribution of the organs, would you give preference to children on the waiting list?

(Agree/Disagree) If you were making the rules for donation you would allow parents or family members to override a person’s (over 18) decision to donate at the time of death? (Agree/Disagree) Would you advocate to make OTDA mandatory in school curriculums. (Agree/Disagree)

Students will read some of the Real Life Stories in class

The Decisions of a Lifetime

Decision Making is the cognitive process of making a choice or decision

Types of Decisions



Personal- focuses on how it effects you as a person. (EX. Is it Healthy, Safe, Legal, Respectful, Parent Approved, Does it demonstrate good character)



Economical-involves the financial options



Technical-focuses on the procedure or means to carry out the decision

The Decision Making Format

Using the format handout, practice making decisions related to organ and tissue donation by choosing one of the following: (Next slide) Should I make a commitment to become a deceased organ donor ?

Should I try to convince my family and friends to sign a donor card for deceased donation?

Should I consider becoming a living donor when I am older?



Below are examples of things to consider when making decisions about donation.

How will living donation effect my life?



Will a living or deceased donation effect my family?



If I donate will it effect society?



How will donation effect my religious belief?



Do I have confidence in the medical staff?

Students will create a simple OTDA survey to be given first to the staff, and then students with administration approval.

The surveys will be handed out and collected by Mrs Koleno, then students will graph the survey results.

Bulldog News Clips

In groups of 3-4 you will pick a topic from the following list (Next Slide) Once you have your topic, you will put together a video clip to be broadcast on the Bulldog News.
