Part III Speaking and Discussion Transplant Surgery Who gets a heart?
Read
You are members of the heart transplant surgery team at a university hospital in Washington, D.C. At the moment you have seven patients who desperately need a transplant if they are to have any chance of living. All seven patients are classified as “critically ill”, and could die at any time.
You have just received news that the heart of a 16-year-old boy who was killed in an auto accident has become available for transplantation. Speed is extremely important as you decide which of the following patients is to receive the heart: not only might one of the patients die, but the donor heart will soon begin to deteriorate.
Consider
1. The age and sex of the donor has no relationship to the age and sex of the recipient. In other words, the heart of the 16-year-old would work well in a 50-year-old woman. Size, however, might be a consideration in the case of the infant.
2. Rank the option/patients in order of preference: 1=first to receive, 7=last to receive.
Decide and write
