* In which circumstance would you consider it acceptable for a single dose of heparin to be given to a potential DCD donor, where family consent for organ donation has been given?
 
All potential DCD donors at the time of treatment withdrawal
 
All potential DCD donors who are not at particular risk of bleeding at the time of treatment withdrawal
 
All potential DCD donors at the point where death is inevitable and imminent
 
All potential DCD donors who are not at particular risk of bleeding at the point where death is inevitable and imminent
 
Never
 
Don't know
 
 
 
* In which circumstance would you consider it acceptable for a single dose of steroid to be given to a potential DCD donor, where family consent for organ donation has been given?
 
I do not think that steroids should ever be given.
 
I think that steroids should be given if the family agree.
 
I think that steroids should be given whenever they might improve transplantation.
 
I don’t know
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
*  In which circumstance would you consider it acceptable for a single dose of phentolamine to be given to a potential DCD donor, where family consent for organ donation has been given?
 
I do not think that phentolamine should ever be given.
 
I think that phentolamine should be given if the family agree.
 
I think that phentolamine should be given whenever it might improve transplantation.
 
I don’t know
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* Trans-thoracic echocardiography may become part of the ante-mortem assessment of potential DCD heart donors. How do you feel about this?
 
I think that the scan should be carried out whenever it is needed to assess whether a person can donate their heart for transplant.
 
I think that doctors can do the scan as long as the family agree to it.
 
I don’t think that the scan should ever be done, even if this means that heart transplantation cannot happen.
 
I don't know.
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* Trans-oesophageal echocardiography may become part of the ante-mortem assessment of potential DCD heart donors.  How do you feel about this?
 
I think that the scan should be carried out whenever it is needed to assess whether a person can donate their heart for transplant.
 
I think that doctors can do the scan as long as the family agree to it.
 
I don’t think that the scan should ever be done, even if this means that heart transplantation cannot happen.
 
I don't know.
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* Bronchoscopy may assist in the assessment of potential DCD lung donors.  The patient would receive appropriate sedation for the procedure.  How do you feel about a bronchoscopy being carried out?
 
I think that a bronchoscopy should be carried out whenever it is needed to assess whether a person can donate their lungs for transplant.
 
I think that the bronchoscopy can be performed as long as the family agrees.
 
I don’t think that a bronchoscopy should ever be done, even if this means that a lung transplant cannot happen.
 
I don't know.
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* What do you think about a dying patient, in whom donation would be possible, being intubated and ventilated in order to facilitate organ donation.
 
I think that a dying patient should be intubated and ventilated whenever organ donation is a possibility.
 
I think that a dying patient should be intubated and ventilated whenever organ donation is a possibility, but only if the next of kin agree to it.
 
I don’t think that a dying patient should ever be intubated and ventilated just for the purposes of organ donation.
 
I don’t know.
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* A potential DCD donor suffers a cardiac arrest before the retrieval team are ready for treatment withdrawal.  What do you think about cardiac resuscitation in such circumstances?
 
I think that resuscitation should begin immediately.
 
I think that resuscitation should begin as soon as the family have given permission for it.
 
I don’t think that resuscitation should be instituted in any circumstances. The patient should be allowed to die.
 
I don’t know.
 
None of the above. I think that:
 
 
 
 
* Donation may be more likely if treatment withdrawal includes terminal extubation.  How would you feel about a potential DCD donor being extubated if this is not something normally done when withdrawing treatments?
 
I think that if it has been decided that donation should go ahead, treatments should be withdrawn in a way that makes this most likely to happen.
 
I think that if it has been decided that donation should go ahead, medical staff should discuss with the family about how best to withdraw treatments.
 
I do not think that there should ever be any change to how treatments are withdrawn to make donation more likely to happen.
 
I don’t know.
