Contexto atual da captação de órgãos para transplantes em Minas Gerais

Abstract

The growing demand for organ transplants, generated in part by the increase in life expectancy, has an impact on the waiting list for organs and makes it difficult to reduce it. The awareness of society, especially the family, which often refuses to donate, is of fundamental importance to obtain positive results in reducing the queues of recipients, as well as the improvement of the logistics responsible for the packaging and transport of organs within pre- determined by the time of ischemia of each organ, considering the distances between the capture center and the implantation center. The present paper proposes a study of the efficiency in the collection of organs and tissues in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in response to the challenge of reducing waiting lines for organs and tissues and the high complexity involved in the various steps in the organ capture and transplantation process. , aiming to identify the causes of failure, such as: underreporting, family approach, nonconclusion of brain death.
