Respiratory Therapy Education: Investigate Before You Extubate

• Respiratory therapists are an essential part of the donation process in the ICU and ED.

• Your participation in terminal extubations is another opportunity to ensure that an MTN referral or update has been made.

• Please investigate before you extubate: Ask your ED or critical care nurse if MTN has been updated prior to the terminal extubation of any patient in the ICU or ED.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration. Donation is simply not possible without you.
