DAGA RUIZ, D. et al. Multi-tissue donor: a reachable option. Med. Intensiva [online]. 2011, vol.35, n.6, pp.388-392. ISSN 0210-5691.

The clinical use of human tissues is a therapeutic reality in many diseases, observing a spectacular increase in their demand in recent years. This has also generated an increase in the demand for donors which, in regarding to obtaining tissues, is not limited to brain death donors. Consequently, tissues obtained from cardiorespiratory arrest donors must be promoted in our hospitals. With this purpose, we present our experience in the last five years and the mechanisms we used to reach these goals. During this period, an awareness and health care staff information campaign was carried out in the Emergency and Hemodynamic areas. The next step will be to extend this campaign to the rest of the hospital staff. We believe that the mechanisms needed to obtain hospital staff collaboration in the detection of multi-tissue donors is to offer updated information on the indications and therapeutic advantages of clinical use of human tissues, favoring hospital awareness on this subject and therefore the detection of potential donors.
