AB The  incessant  development  of  transplant  programs  recorded  in  the  last  20  years  has  determined  the  urgency  to  organize  an  organ  procurement  system  that  allows  diagnosis,  reporting,  and  maintenance  of  a  potential  donor.  All  patients  whose  neurologic  condition  deteriorates  to  where  they  no  longer  have  demonstrable  vegetative  function  must  be  considered  as  potential  donors  and  undergo  tests  to  determine  conclusively  the  existence  of  brain  death.  Critical  care  units  have  been  forced  to  meet  new  objectives  in  their  regular  work,  especially  those  that  involve  the  replacement  of  the  vegetative  functions  of  a  human  being  who  has  been  given  this  diagnosis  and  therefore  is  legally  and  biologically  dead.
