Stages of organ donation after brain death

Provided by : Javad Eynaki Maleki

Organ donation: Late satisfaction causes organ loss, especially lungs

For a healthy lung donation and transplantation of a brain-dead patient, there is a need for under 7 hours (after brain death). The lungs become infected faster due to a weakened immune system, and because most brain deaths are due to accidents, the chest is damaged and requires the consent of the family of the brain dead person to keep the lungs healthy quickly.  For example, in Ms. Asal Badiee's organ donation, because of the high speed of satisfaction, all of her donated organs, including the lungs, were used for transplantation.  If the satisfaction time exceeds 24 hours, only organs such as the kidneys, liver and heart may survive, and other donated organs may be lost.

In Iran, the reason for dissatisfaction is the denial of brain death, because in the country, the concept of brain death has not been properly defined yet, and people think that when their loved one moves his chest, he is alive!  While they do not realize that their loved one's heart is beating due to artificial respiration, they do not know that after several days during the production of toxins in the body, the heart of the brain dead person will definitely stop moving.

Another important reason for the dissatisfaction of families is that they say that our body is deformed, but they should be aware that surgical removal of organs is done on a vertical line from the top of the chest to below the navel, and after removing the organs by the method  Very clean plastic surgery is sewn on the body so that when we look at the body, only 2 stitches can be seen at the top and bottom, and this very good plastic surgery method is performed out of respect for the corpse, which has received a lot of attention in our religion.

 The head of the Department of Transplantation and Special Diseases of the Ministry of Health said (quoted in October 2015): There are 27,000 patients in need of organs in Iran, 7 to 10 of whom die every day due to lack of proper organ transplantation.

Najafizadeh added: "The most important reason for the lack of transplant organs is the dissatisfaction of families with organ donation due to the lack of public awareness of the nature of brain death and organ donation."

He said: "In brain death, brain cells are destroyed and brain tissue is transformed into a pasty substance that is irreparable and reversible.

Najafizadeh stated that the confirmation of brain death is only the responsibility of four groups of trained and trusted physicians of the Ministry of Health in the specialties of neurosurgery, neurology, internal medicine and anesthesia, said: Each person with brain death can save eight people from certain death by donating one to eight vital organs (heart, liver, two lungs, two kidneys, pancreas and intestine) and by donating one to 53 tissues It can save one to 53 people from disability.

He added: "Currently, the only national and governmental site for the immediate issuance of an organ donation card is ehda.ir, which immediately after entering the applicant's information, the organ donation card appears and is available."

Najafizadeh stated that transplant patients need more help in receiving medicines after transplantation, price, insurance and availability, and called for more attention of authorities to such patients.

Types of cord blood storage banks

There are two types of cord blood storage banks:

Public Bank: For Public Use (Unrelated)

In this method, the donated cord blood is stored for the general consumption of the patients and not only for the consumption of themselves and the donor's family, and therefore no cost is received from the cord blood donor.

Private Bank: For Private Use (Relative)

In this method, the cost of collection, storage, processing and maintenance is paid by the family, so the sample is kept for the family itself.

Difference between blood donation and blood plasma donation & Blood Plasma Applications

The difference between blood donation and plasma donation:

Plasma donation is done by the device and only the blood is taken and the blood returns to the person, but the process for blood donation is such that the blood enters the blood bags completely. Of course, plasma can be extracted from the same bag after blood donation, but the volume of plasma by blood donation is one third of the plasma volume that can be taken independently by the device. Annually, 500,000 liters of plasma are produced in the country, which produces 300,000 liters in the private sector. The Blood Transfusion Organization produces 200,000 liters of plasma from blood donated by the public.

Plasma Applications:

The obtained plasma is sent to plasma refinery centers for injection to patients or to produce specific pharmaceutical products derived from plasma.
