[Interviewing relatives with a view to organ donation from a deceased person]

Abstract

Talking to a deceased patient's next of kin about organ donation is a sensitive, emotionally-charged collective practice. It must be prepared and organized by the coordination and resuscitation team. The quality of the support and follow-up offered to the deceased's family and friends remains essential.
