NORS accepts care and all charges at the time of consent. In the event of brain dead organ donation, NORS will accept all care of the patient and write orders through the NORS medical director. For DCD organ donation, the attending physician from the hospital will still write all of the orders for the patient with the guidance of NORS clinical staff.
The initial order set varies based on donor condition, age, organ function, and a wide variety of other factors. NORS may request consults from physicians within the hospital to best evaluate and manage organs. Some things that may be included:
° Blood draw
° Labs
° Bronchoscopy
° Echocardiogram
° T4
° Lung Recruitment
