Donor After Brain Death

The need for organ transplantation is ever increasing. Currently there are 115,000 people on the waitlist and the number is still growing. Organs that are transplanted may be obtained via a living or deceased donor. The organs may be obtained from a deceased donor after either brain death or after cardiac death. The majority of deceased donor organ transplants occur via deceased donor after brain death; however, deceased donor after cardiac death organ donation is increasing. This concept of organ transplantation can be quite difficult to discuss with families, therefore, the anesthesiologist and the entire care team must be knowledgeable and respectful regarding the patient’s and families wishes. The team should also be familiar with the overall process and organ procurement protocols of the institution. By having respectful, thoughtful, early discussions regarding the potential for organ donation, families will be able to make better informed decisions.

Death Determination

Brain death is the state of irreversible loss of the clinical functions of the brain. A patient must meet strict criteria to be declared brain dead. They must have suffered a known and demonstrably irreversible brain injury and must not have a condition that could render neurologic testing unreliable. If the patient meets these criteria, a formal brain death examination can be performed. The three findings in brain death are coma or unresponsiveness, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea. Brain death is closely tied to organ donation, because brain-dead patients represent approximately 90% of deceased donors and thus a large majority of donated organs. This review details a definition and overview of brain death, determination of brain death, and controversy over brain death, as well as the types of organ donation (living donation versus deceased donation), donation after brain death, and donation after cardiac death. A figure presents a comparison of organ donation after brain death and after cardiac death, and a table lists the American Academy of Neurology Criteria for Determination of Brain Death. This review contains 1 highly rendered figure, 3 table, and 20 references.
