ABSTRACT
There is a high need of organs for transplantation in Chiapas and patients served by the Regional Center of High Specialty that includes the Regional Hospital of High Specialty Ciudad Salud and the Hospital of Pediatric Specialties outnumber possible living donors and there is no previous registration of multiorganic donation for transplant purposes in the state. Case report: A 19 year old man with probably brain death due to severe head trauma treated at IMSS and unable to transfer to third level hospitals dependent on that same institution for diagnostic confirmation of brain death and organ donation, the chiapanecan interinstitutional support network was coordinated and in Ciudad Salud, brain death was diagnosed, the national network of transplants was activated and the hospital teams would arrive late for procurement, meanwhile the donor stayed in Intensive Care Unit where their general conditions were maintained in optimal conditions for donation despite the state of gravity and the high risk of organ infeasibility, the donation was successful thanks to the multidisciplinary support. Conclusion: In Chiapas, the interinstitutional coordination network and multidisciplinary support were key for the first multiorgan donation for transplant purposes, the management in Intensive Care was crucial for the success of the donation.REFERENCES
