This page ties together the different types of information we collect about deceased patients. Additional info might be in but not integrated here yet.

General instructions for deceased patients

  • Diagnosis: brain death or death has been declared
  • Diagnosis codes: braindead (524) & organ donor (874).
  • Dispo DtTm: date and time patient is sent from ICU to the operating room or to another ICU (see #Background)
  • Dispo: code "died - organ donor"


Some Organ Donors have a bronchscopy done, but not all do, so don't automatically assume and code it. The only time it is done is if there are considering the lungs. This is according to a Respirologist from STB ICU.


  • If the patient had been sent to a temporary location and was expected to return to the unit after the procedure, then the dispo is death. If the person was NOT expected to return to the unit after the procedure, then the dispo is transfer to the procedure area, resp the next ward.

Use time of death as Dispo DtTm. However, for Organ Donors patients see that article.
