Abstract

Brain death is defined as the irreversible loss of all functions of the brain, the brainstem and cerebellum. Donors with irreversible brain damage and medically healthy organs other than the brain may be suitable organ donors. Despite the great progress on organ transplantation in recent years, the most important problem of organ transplantation is the insufficiency in organ donation. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose brain death in pediatric intensive care units to provide organ donors. Herein, we report a 17-year-old patient who had brain herniation due to increased intracranial pressure and was subsequently diagnosed with brain death. The patient’s organs including the lungs, both kidneys and both corneas were retrieved for donation.

Kafa İçi Basınç Artışı Sendromundan Beyin Ölümü ve Organ Donasyonuna Giden Bir Adölesan Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Beyin, beyin sapı ve serebellum fonksiyonlarının geri dönüşümsüz kaybı beyin ölümü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Geri dönüşümsüz beyin hasarı saptanan, tıbben beyin dışındaki organları sağlıklı olan donörler uygun organ donörü olabilirler. Son yıllarda organ naklindeki büyük gelişmelere rağmen, organ naklinin en önemli sorunu organ bağışındaki yetersizliktir. Bu nedenle organ donörü sağlanması açısından çocuk yoğun bakım ünitelerinde beyin ölümü tanısı koymak oldukça önemlidir. Burada 17 yaşında kafa içi basınç artışı sendromuna (KİBAS) bağlı beyin herniasyonu olan ve sonrasında beyin ölümü tanısı alan, böbrek, kornea ve akciğer nakli için donör olan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
