Abstract

With the improvement of intensive care facilities, brain dead organ donors have become a major source of transplant organs today. Optimal management of the donor, prior to organ retrieval is critical to the functioning of the graft. We report the anaesthetic management of a brain dead patient for organ harvesting. Patient was a hypertensive on treatment, and was otherwise healthy. Preoperatively patient was on mechanical ventilation and was on dopamine support. Intraoperative vasopressin and noradrenalin infusions titrated to blood pressure were given. Blood glucose was controlled with insulin. Liver harvesting was not done due to fatty infiltration. Both kidneys were harvested in good condition, after which ventilatory support was withdrawn and all infusions discontinued. 

 Keywords: Brain Dead Donor; Organ Retrieval; Directed Tissue Donation.
