AB Interest  in  donation  after  cardiac  death  (DCD)  was  renewed  in  the  early  1990s  as  a  means  to  partially  overcome  the  shortage  of  donation  after  brain  death  (DBD).DCD  donors  have  a  significant  contribution  to  the  potential  donor  pool.1In  Middle  Eastern  countries  and  in  Asia,  DCD  has  become  an  increasingly  frequent  procedure.In  1995  the  first  consensus  was  published  in  Maastricht  classifying  DCD  into  4  categories  (Table  51-1).The  length  of  warm  ischemia  during  DCD  varies.Uncontrolled  DCD:  Organs  procured  after  an  unexpected  cardiopulmonary  arrest.Variable  period  of  ischemic  damage  due  to  cardiac  standstill  followed  by  cardiac  resuscitation.7Controlled  DCD:  Cardiocirculatory  arrest  is  a  consequence  of  a  planned  and  timed  withdrawal  of  ventilator  and  organ-perfusion  support  (minimal  warm  ischemia).7
