  • Donor Maintenance of Organ Donation after Brain Death (Report of 2 Cases)

    Objective To explore the donor maintenance points of donor donation after brain death (DBD). Methods From December 2011 to January 2012,two cases of organ DBD in our hospital were performed. After diagnosis of brain death,mechanical ventilation,fluid resuscitation,vasoactive drugs,inotropic drugs,and so on were used,and invasive arterial pressure, central venous pressure,heart rate,blood gas exchange,urine output,electrolyte and acid-base balance,body temperature, hematocrit,albumin level were monitored,the donors vital organ perfusion were successfully kept at acceptable level. Results The vital signs of two cases of DBD donors were stable. The livers,kidneys,and corneas were donated,and the functions were stable and normal. Case one was diagnosed for brain death 6h after ICU admitted,the period from diagnosis to organ procurement was 33h. Case two was diagnosed for brain death 8h after ICU admitted,the period from diagnosis to organ procurement was 31h. All transplanted organs,livers,kidneys,and corneas,were working well after operation. Conclusions Donor maintenance process of DBD is the cornerstone to ensuring successfully organ donation and transplantation,which is important to improve the utilization rate of donated organs,and release the severely shortage of organ.

  • Questionnaire Analysis of Attitude Towards Organ Transplantation and Donation in Inpatients

    Objective To get the information about the cognition and attitude towards organ transplantation and donation in inpatients. Methods The inpatients were investigated by using a self-designed questionnaire,including general data,cognition and attitude towards organ transplantation and donation. The influence factors of organ transplantation and donation were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. Results A total of 1 000 questionnaires were delivered,973 returned,the effective questionnaire was 906,and the effective rate was 93.1%. In 906 valid questionnaires,788 (87.0%) patients knew organ transplantation;189 (20.9%) patients had transplanted relatives;511 (56.4%) patients were willing to accept the organ transplant surgery,226 (24.9%) patients did not want,169 (18.7%) patients did not know;490 (54.1%) patients agreed to donate organ,173 (19.1%) patients disagreed,243 (26.8%) patients did not know. The age,education,occupation,knowing organ transplants,and with organ transplanted relatives or not had significant influences to the willingness towards organ transplantation and donation (P<0.01). The gender had no effect on organ transplantation (P=0.727) and donation (P=0.935) concerned issues,but the age,education,knowing organ transplantation,and with organ transplanted relatives or not had significant influences on it (P<0.01). Most concerned factors about organ transplantation were as follows:with an available organ for transplantation 〔28.7% (260/906)〕,postoperative quality of life 〔23.0% (208/906)〕,risk of surgery 〔21.5%(195/906)〕,surgery costs 〔19.5% (177/906)〕,and postoperative rejection 〔7.3% (66/906)〕. Most concerned factors about organ donation were as follows:the reasonable usage of donated organs 〔57.4% (520/906)〕,attitude of relatives 〔23.8% (216/906)〕,and donation compensation 〔17.6% (159/906)〕,and others 〔1.2% (11/906)〕. According to the way of organ donation,403 (44.4%) patients were willing to accept donation after cardiac death (DCD),257 (28.4%) patients accept donation after brain death,246 (27.2%) patients accept living organ donation. The gender,education,and occupation had significant influences on the way of organ donation (P<0.05),but age,knowing organ transplantation,and with organ transplanted relatives or not had no effects on it (P>0.05). Conclusions The lack of propaganda and the high costs of transplantation surgery are the main factors restricting the acceptance rate of organ transplantation. Over time,with continuous improvement of universal education and strengthening the publicity of organ transplantation,the acceptance rate will show a constant increase in the trend. By now,the most accepted way of organ donation is DCD in inpatients. The establishment of a reasonable organ allocation and compensation system is a corner stone to promote organ donation.
