Pathophysiology of brain death
Cushing’s response
 Autonomic storm
 Decreased hepatic perfusion due to
intrahepatic shunt
 Neurogenic pulmonary edema
 Catecholamine decreased to below
baseline in 15 minute

Pathophysiology of brain death
Abolished vagal tone
 Decreased carbon dioxide production
 Arterial and venous vasomotor collapse
 Activation of proinflammaory and
immunoregulatory pathway

Routine care and monitoring
Arterial line
 CVP
 Temperature
 Hourly urine output
 Frequent laboratory tests
 Swan-Ganz catheter

Goal of management
Organ viability and function after
transplantation correlates with donor care
 To increase usability of organs
 To optimize organ perfusion and tissue
oxygen delivery

Goal of management
Systolic blood pressure: 100-120 mmHg
 Central venous pressure: 8-10 mmHg
 Urine output: 100-300 ml/hr
 Core temperature: > 35º c
 Arterial oxygen pressure: 80-100 mmHg
 Oxygen saturation: > 95%
 pH: 7.35-7.45
 Hematocrit: 30-35%

Cardiovascular support
Hypertension
 Hypotension
 Hypovolemia
 Decreased vascular resistance

Cause of hypotension
Hypovolemia
 Hypothermia
 Cardiac dysfunction

 Arrhythmia
 Acidosis
 Hypoxemia
 Excessive
PEEP
 Congestive heart failure
 Myocardial sequelae of autonomic storm
Cause of hypotension

Cardiac dysfunction
 Cardiac
injury
 Preexisting cardiac disease
 Hypophosphatemia
 Hypocalcemia

Drug side effect or overdose (beta
blocker, calcium channel blocker)
Hypovolemia
Arterial and venous vasomotor collapse
 Dehydration (fluid restriction)
 Insufficient resuscitation
 Polyuria (Osmotic diuresis, diabetes
insipidus, hypothermia)
 Third space loss
 Decreased intravascular oncotic pressure

Cardiovascular support
Optimize volume status
 Dopamine is the drug of choice
 Try to avoid α-adrenergic agonist
 Urine output not reliable

Respiratory support
Frequent endotrachial suctioning
 Use low level of PEEP
 Tidal volume 10-15 ml/kg
 Maintain PaO2 greater than 100 mmHg
 Avoid using high PEEP
 Increase FiO2 non-lung donor

Renal function
Maintain adequate perfusion
 Maintain adequate urine output
 Minimize use of vasopressor
 Polyuria (DI, osmotic diuresis)
 Diabetes insipidus found in 80%

Central diabetes insipidus
Urine output > 500 ml/hr
 Serum sodium > 155 mEq/L
 Urine specific gravity < 1.005
 Serum osmolarity > 305 mOsm/L

Effect of hypernatremia
Hypernatremia was associated
postoperative graft dysfunction
 Graft loss in up to 33%
 Correction of hypernatremia
 Keep final serum sodium level < 155
mEq/L

Liver Transpl Surg - 1999 Sep; 5(5): 421-8
Treatment of DI
Hypotonic solution (D5W, .45NaCl)
 Desmopressin 1-2 µg IV every 8-12 hr
 Vasopressin infusion 1.2 unit/hr

Endocrine therapy
Low T3 level: routine use not
recommended
 Steroid: may decrease proinflammatory
reaction, routine use not recommended
 Insulin: use to treat hyperglycemia,
increase hepatic glycogen storage

Prevention of hypothermia
Brain dead donors are poikilothermic
 Maintain temperature > 35ºc
 Prevent heat loss
 Rewarm

Organ preservation
To preserve the viability of organ for as
long as possible
 Hypothermia slows metabolism
 Cooling organs from 37 to 0 degree
Celsius slows metabolism by a factor of
12-13
 Ischemia causes cell swelling

Organ preservation
Collin’s solution
 University of Wisconsin solution
 Both are high in potassium
 UW solution contain impermeants which
help reduce cell swelling

Ideal cadaver donor
Young adult with no significant medical
problem
 Brain death due to closed head injury
 No extracerebral trauma
 Brief hospitalization
 Normal blood pressure and heart rate
without vasopressor
 Excellent organ function

Contraindication
Unknown cause of death
 Extracranial malignancy
 HIV +
 Uncontrolled sepsis especially fungal

Relative contraindication
Extreme age
 Intracranial malignancy
 HCV + or HB core antibody +
 Bacteremia
 Procurement injury
 Preexisting medical problem
