for seeking more donors among patients who now die after ventilation has been stopped. More willingness to make use of donors who had become asystolic is likely to be practical only when the transplant team is located near the intensive care unit. The potential for increasing the supply of donors by ventilating more of the hopelessly brain damaged patients is considerable. Major constraints are the willingness of doctors and nurses to ventilate patients solely to enable them to become donors and the adequacy of resources in donor intensive care units. Resources should also be reviewed in transplant units to ensure that as many of the offered organs as possible are used. Ongoing audit could show how hospitals ranked in their donation rates and how various trans? plant units rated in results of transplantation and in responding to offers by successfully retrieving organs.
