Declarations
:
: The Medical Review Ethics Committee East-Netherlands waived approval (2020–7044). The study also received approval from the local review committees of all participating hospitals. Written consent was obtained from all healthcare professionals and family members, except for three family members who provided recorded verbal consent. Informed consent was acquired from one representative on behalf of the whole family. Because some families were yet unaware of their relatives’ potential fatal diagnosis and possibility of donation, clinicians a priori informed them that the research focused on conversations within the ICU environment rather than specifically on donor conversations. Family’s verbal consent was obtained, followed several weeks later by full information, written or recorded verbal consent and the question to participate in an interview.
: Not applicable.
: All authors have completed a disclosure form based on uniform ICMJE guidelines. As potential participants, donation intensivists did not have final decisional rights regarding the results and discussion sections of the manuscript. The authors have no competing interests to declare.
