Abstract:
Focused echocardiography plays a vital role in assessing donor hearts and improving donor utilisation in the United Kingdom. A NHS Blood & Transplant working group was established and, through a review of the current evidence and modified Delphi approach, developed guidance for a minimum dataset for image acquisition in donor heart assessment. This is in intended as a pragmatic optional supplementation to current focused echocardiography protocols. We present a donor echocardiography proforma with accompanying educational materials for use in the United Kingdom.
