Donantes potenciales de órganos y tejidos para lista de espera del INDOT de la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital General Isidro Ayora de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:In Ecuador, the organ donation process is executed by the Ministry of Public Health and the Organ and Tissue Donation Institute, through the implementation of protocols to identify potential diagnostic controls for brain death or cardiac arrest; however, the donation rate cannot be increased to the ideal WHO proposed figure of 20 digits per million inhabitants (dpmh) , which directly affects the number of people on the waiting list. A descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental and prospective study of the identification of antibodies was potentially carried out in the Intensive Care Unit of the Isidro Ayora Hospital in the city of Loja during the period October 2017 to June 2018. Of the 68 patients who died during this period, 20 potential patients were identified, 6 with brain death and 14 patients with cardiac arrest, representing 8.8% and 20.6% respectively. Upon becoming the real real, the donation rate would increase 1.18 per million inhabitants, that is, Ecuador would go from a rate of 3.45 to 4.63 dpmh.
