Abstract

Organ transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-organ failure. Organs are sourced from living donors, donors declared dead by cardiopulmonary (DCD) criteria, or donors declared brain dead (DBD) by neurologic criteria. The tutorial focuses on physiological changes associated with brain death along with ICU and intra-operative management of Brain-dead donors for harvesting organs.
