To improve organ donation processes and outcomes, many A ustralian hospitals have introduced donation after cardiac death ( DCD ) following the 2010 publication of the N ational P rotocol for DCD . As emergency clinicians play a significant role in identifying potential DCD donors, it is critical to assess their support and knowledge. Although many support DCD , most are unaware of the protocol or procedures regarding DCD . Education is needed and desired by many emergency clinicians.
