اهدای زندگی Life Donation

Brain death and coma are scientifically two completely different processes!
It is usually wrongly assumed that a brain-dead person has a chance of recovery, such as a person who has been in a coma. If you've heard that a person has suffered brain death and then recovered, it hasn't actually been brain death. Patients who have recovered are in fact in a deep coma, and after returning from a coma, their relatives or sometimes even some doctors and nurses who do not have enough information about the difference between brain death and coma have made such a misconception!
Therefore, sometimes relatives of a brain dead person mistakenly assume that he has a chance of recovery and return, so they do not consent to organ donation in the hope of recovery.
In a coma, there is a chance for some patients to recover, while brain death is, in medical terms, absolute death, and the person will never alive.
In brain death, the patient's recovery is impossible and his death within a few days is inevitable. Therefore, the opportunity to donate a brain-dead person's organ is limited to a few days!
Coma recognition
Cortical cells are highly sensitive to hypoxia, so when blood flow to these cells is stopped, they quickly become seriously and sometimes irreversibly damaged. In this case, the person quickly loses consciousness and, depending on the extent of damage to the cerebral cortex, his reactions to environmental stimuli are reduced. However, there is still the possibility of improving the condition and returning the consciousness of the disease that has gone into a coma.
Recognizing brain death
Brain death is the cessation of all brain activity and brainstem at the same time. a person with brain death is actually a person who, due to extensive brain damage, has been unable to communicate with his surroundings, cannot speak, does not see, does not respond to painful stimulations. A person with brain death is also unable to breathe spontaneously. Although he has a heartbeat, he has no recordable waves when we record his brain waves. His heart rate continues with the help of a ventilator and maintenance measures to keep donated organs in optimal conditions for transplantation. Brain death in medical science is absolute death and this person will never come back to life.
The difference between brain death and coma and plant life
In this video, the difference between brain death and similar states of coma and plant life is compared. Unlike a coma, there is no way for a person who has died of brain death due to brain death to recover. Therefore, with the timely consent of the relatives of the brain dead person to donate his/her organs, the lives of several people can be saved. But in a coma, organ donation does not make sense because the brain has not died and can return. The symptoms of these two conditions are different and can be easily distinguished by specialist doctors. Unfortunately, many relatives of the brain dead person due to lack of necessary knowledge think that their loved one will return like a comatose person, but it is a misconception! Due to the toxins caused by brain death, in a few weeks, the complete death of the person will lead to brain death, and if they do not agree to donate an organ, the lives of needy patients will not be saved from death!
