ABSTRACT

Globally, only 47% of the people who are making the request for the donation of organs and tissues consents even though in public opinion polls, over 75% the population agree with the donation. Objective: to find and notify the main reasons why the family does not agree to the donation. Methods: cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive analysis of all patients who met the criteria of being potential donors of organs and tissues for transplantation purposes in the period January 2012 to July 2013 and whose trial ended in negative during the interview familiar. The study was conducted at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Conclusions: the Institute had a negative 62.5 percent, compared with 53% globally. Factors seemingly intractable, such as religion, culture, socioeconomic status are often associated with more complex issues such as dissatisfaction with the medical system, ignorance about the donation process, posthumous lack of patients, family disagreements and not understanding diagnosis of brain death.
