Review Meta Analysis
Management of the brain-dead organ donor: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The shortage of organs is a limitation for transplantation, making the care of potential organ donors an important issue. The present systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to assess the efficacy of interventions to stabilize hemodynamics in brain-dead donors or to improve organ function and outcomes of transplantation. ⋯ The present results suggest limited efficacy of interventions focusing on the management of brain-dead donors.
