Introduction: globally we face the rapid increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, which often cause dysfunction of vital organs so it is estimated that there are a large number of patients waiting for a transplant. The probability of dying on the waiting list is high, so the organ procurement is an essential process in hospitals. Objectives: report the processes and results of the procurement of organs and tissues in the Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital during the period from january to december 2014, in order to encourage and promote this process. Materials and methods: this descriptive study reports the procurement process in which all neurocritical patients who met criteria for Brain Death as multiorgan donors and patients in cardiac arrest as tissue donors during the period included 1 january to 31 december 2014. Results: 11 organ procurement processes and tissues were performed during 2014 at the Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital; nine of them were considered effective. Organs came from patients admitted to the Critical Care Services in Emergency Room and Critical Care Medicine, causes of admission were: Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (66.6%) and intracerebral hemorrhage (33.3%), all diagnosed with criteria of death brain. Between october and december 2014 were held 77.7% of the activity, refecting the implementation of strategies and the work of the hospital procurement. Conclusions: the promotion of strategies to promote increased effective donors is the mainstay of the process of organ transplantation in the Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital. The refusal of donation from relatives is low (one case), thanks to the proper implementation of the proposed activities in every part of the procurement process described in this article.
