A proposal of the organ donor center system and efforts of Fujita Medical University to increase the number of organ donation

Abstract

In order to increase organ donation, it is essential to centralize the provision system and reduce the burden on the organ provider side. By providing human and material resources to other hospitals, the organ donor center will reduce the burden on the organ providers and also provide better care for donor families. At the Fujita Medical University, the transplant physicians are in charge of the main department of organ donors after the second legal brain death judgment. Furthermore, the anesthesiologists are involved in respiratory and circulatory management before surgery, resulting in a better organ delivery system. We believe that the reduction of burden on the organ provider side and human and material intensification will lead to more organ donation.
