Most of the potential organ donors come from the Emergency and Intensive Care Units, where most of the patients with acute and severe neurological disorder are located1. During the diagnosis of brain death, the authentic maintenance of the donor begins, as there are critical moments, such as the apnea test. Since during the pre-establishment phase of brain death the patient has been treated aggressively with all the methods at our disposal disposal, many of them aimed at preserving cerebral perfusion manitol, thiopental sodium, etc., we often find ourselves with potential donors with high hemodynamic instability and significant changes in the internal environment1. The maintenance of the multiorgan donor is a challenge for the Intensive Care Unit team. This process involves putting into practice the total knowledge of the management of multi-organ dysfunction in a dead patient. The time of deterioration of the organs also plays a role in the treatment of all the complications that occur in this type of patients. Adherence to a management protocol is essential to ensure that a greater number of donors are transferred to the operating room for the extraction of viable organs2.
