Background: Paediatric donation is a unique and extremely sensitive process that requires specific knowledge and competencies. Most countries make use of a specific donation protocols for organ and tissue donation to ensure optimal care for the donor and the family during and after the donation process. These protocols, however, focus mainly on adults. The donation process for children differs from that of adults in many ways. We performed a literature review to identify and compare donation protocols for the paediatric population.
