The critical care nurse is a vital link in the referral of organ donors and, thus, is the determining factor in the number of patients that will receive organ transplants. The process of referring a potential donor to OPOs should be as convenient as possible. It was the goal of this article to explain the referral process of organ donors and, more important, to communicate the dedication and availability of all OPO staff to the critical care nurse. Donor families have repeatedly stated that having the option of organ donation offered to them at one of their most difficult times helped them take something positive away from their loved one's death. This option can occur only when the critical care nurse is an active participant in the organ procurement process.
重症护理护士是器官捐献者转诊过程中的关键环节，因此，也是决定接受器官移植患者数量的决定性因素。将潜在捐献者转介给器官获取组织（OPO）的过程应尽可能便捷。本文的目的是解释器官捐献者的转诊过程，更重要的是，向重症护理护士传达所有OPO工作人员的奉献精神和随时待命的态度。捐献者家属多次表示，在他们最艰难的时刻之一，能有器官捐献这一选择，帮助他们从亲人的死亡中看到了积极的一面。只有当重症护理护士积极参与器官获取过程时，这种选择才会出现。
