Tóm tắt

Organ donation procedures have become more frequent in Vietnam as the need for transplants is increasing and changes in organ donation policies. Intraoperative management during organ procurement after brain death requires addressing the unique physiological challenges of brain death while optimizing the viability of the organs intended for transplantation. The anesthesiologist’s role is critical and can directly impact the success of organ recovery and subsequent transplantation outcomes. This paper outlines the intraoperative management of two brain-dead donors recently performed at Military Hospital 103 and explores key considerations for anesthesiologists involved in organ procurement.
