Retrospective analysis of the patients with brain death diagnosis in the last 5 years in our hospital
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this
study is to investigate the organ donation rate, the causes of brain death and
the blood gas parameters before and after apnea test by assessing the records of the patients with brain death
diagnosis in the last 5 years in our hospital.
Method: The records of
44 patients who were diagnosed as brain death between 01.01.2014-15.05.2019 at
Cumhuriyet University Research and Application Hospital were retrospectively
reviewed. Blood gas parameters before and after apnea test, demographic
characteristics, educational status, duration of diagnosing brain death, distribution
of the patients according to their services, organ donation rate, the causes of
brain death were evaluated.
Results: When the
patients diagnosed with brain death in Cumhuriyet University Hospital between
January 2014 and May 2019, 44 patients were found. Of these patients, 23 were
female (52.3%) and 21 were male (47.7%). When the patients who were diagnosed
with brain death were examined; 26 patients (59.1%) were found to be in the neurosurgery
intensive care unit and 13 patients (29.5%) in anesthesia intensive care unit. When
the causes leading to brain death are examined; The most common cause was
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in 18 patients (40.9%). Of the 44 patients
diagnosed with brain death, 9 (20.5%) were donors and 35 (79.5%) were not donors.
Conclusions: This
retrospective evaluation of 44 patients diagnosed with brain death within 5
years in the intensive care units of our hospital revealed that organ donation
rates were below the national average. We
think that not delaying in donor determination, not to be lack of donor care,
training of health workers in brain death and organ donation will increase the awareness
on organ donation and organ donation rates will increase in our hospital.
