Congratulations to Drs. Carolina Maciel and Katharina Busl on the publication of “When End-of-Life Becomes the Beginning of New Life: Application of the Society of Critical Care Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines on Adult End-of-Life Care in the ICU to the Setting of Donation After Circulatory Death.” This article was published in the August edition of Critical Care Explorations.

Their work highlights the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care while supporting ethical decision-making and the opportunity to save lives through organ donation.

This meaningful contribution advances critical care practice and underscores the impact of thoughtful research on patients, families, clinicians, and the future of organ donation.
