Addressing all aspects of brain death and thoroughly detailing how
a potential organ donor should be maintained to ensure maximum use
of the organs and cells, The Brain-Dead Organ Donor:
Pathophysiology and Management is a landmark addition to the
literature. This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will
be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The
first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal,
and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two
chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in
small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many
hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic 'storm',
that takes place during and following the induction of brain death,
and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book
reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on
thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and
those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to
assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of
interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and
physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care
physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists,
neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially
in the more basic science sections on various aspects of
brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations
and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in
this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical
historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.
