Physiologic changes during brain stem death--lessons for management of the organ donor.
Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation 2004 September
The widespread physiologic changes that follow brain stem death lead to a high incidence of complications in the donor and jeopardize vital organ function. Strategies for the management of organ donors exist whereby the rapid physiologic decline seen after brain stem death can be stabilized by active donor resuscitation so that the functional integrity of potentially transplantable organs is maintained. Understanding the complex physiologic changes that occur after brain stem death is crucial to the development of effective donor management strategies. This article reviews the pathophysiologic changes that occur after brain stem death and discusses controversies in donor management.
