From: Eligibility of patients withheld or withdrawn from life-sustaining treatment to organ donation after circulatory arrest death: epidemiological feasibility study in a French Intensive Care Unit

Figure 3

Pathological settings of WoWt patients and eligible patients for organ harvesting. Of the 32 patients theoretically eligible as potential donors, 18 had been admitted to the ICU after a successfully resuscitated cardiac arrest and were in persistent postanoxic coma when the collegial WoWt decision was made. This condition counted for close to a third of WoWt patients (left chart) and more than half of the patients theoretically eligible as organ donors before effective WoWt (right chart).
