AB  - Increasingly  successful  solid  organ  transplantation  has  increased  the  need  for  organ  donors.Maximizing  organ  procurement  and  expanding  donor  acceptance  criteria  should  decrease  the  organ  shortage.Aggressive  ongoing  critical  care  of  the  multiorgan  donor  is  essential  to  improve  organ  retrieval  and  posttransplant  graft  performance.Understanding  the  process  of  brain  death  is  essential  for  directing  donor  treatment  strategies  to  ensure  preservation  and  function  of  donor  organs.The  goals  of  management  of  the  multiorgan  donor  are  to  maximize  organ  function  by  maintaining  organ  perfusion  and  oxygenation,  and  to  promptly  recognize  and  treat  potential  complications  such  as  hypotension,  dysrhythmia,  pulmonary  edema,  massive  diuresis,  coagulopathy,  hypothermia,  and  sepsis.
