Iniciativa para aumentar la donación de órganos y tejidos en México / Initiative to increase organ and tissue donation in Mexico

El programa de donación de órganos y tejidos con fines de trasplante debe ser fortalecido y tener como objetivo principal incrementar la donación cadavérica, suceso que elevará el número de trasplantes y como consecuencia reducirá la cantidad de personas en lista de espera. En México las bajas tasas de donación son resultado de múltiples causas y los factores a modificar son también abundantes, entre lo que sobresale la negativa al solicitar el consentimiento familiar. La Coordinación de Donación de Órganos y Tejidos con Fines de Trasplante (CODOyT) recomienda una serie de puntos a desarrollar y afinar en cada hospital así como la elaboración de proyectos a corto, mediano y largo plazo para lograr el objetivo.

The Organ and Tissue Donation Program must be strengthened to increase the number of cadaveric donors, which will raise the number of transplantations and, therefore, decrease the national recipient waiting list. There are many reasons for the low rates of donation in Mexicol, and the factors that must be modified are also abundant, being the most prominent the lack of family authorization. The Coordination for Organ and Tissues Donation and Transplantation recommends some points to be developed and refined in every hospital, as well as the making of short-medium-and longterm projects to achieve the objective.

Experience of cardiac death organ donation based on the transplant coordinator / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective To research the experience of cardiac death organ donation based on the transplant coordinator.Methods Survey was made in The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University,and potential donors,data were collected from March to October,2010.Through defining four concepts:potential DCD donors,effective DCD donor,success ratio of DCD donor,rejection ratio of DCD donors,the DCD work was quantitatively analyzed.Results There were 16 potential DCD donors and 5 effective DCD donors,and the success ratio of DCD donor was 31.3 0％ (5/16).In the 11 failure cases,there were 3 cases (27.3 ％) whose family refused to donate,3 cases (27.3 0％) whose family had no consentaneous opinions on denotation,4 cases (36.4 ％) whose organ quality did not meet the criteria because of delaying time when dealing with various kinds of disputes or coordinating with various departments,and one case (9.1 ％ ) whose donated organ was unqualified.Rejection ratio of DCD donors was 37.5 ％ (6/16).Conclusion We need to do efforts to further improve the potential DCD donors,discovery.Transplantation coordinator plays an important role in human organ donation work,whose communication skills and professional knowledge still need to be further trained.It is not enough to just rely on the medical department and Red Cross,human organ donation work needs the collaborative participation among the administrative department,the traffic department and the department of justice.
