| Title: |
ICU and Organ Donation: Holistic Approach at End-of-life Care |
| Body: |
Organ transplantation is the best and frequently the only life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. The major limitation to the expansion of transplant therapies is the chronic disparity between the supply and the demand of organs. Considering that decision-making at the end-of-life should be based, not exclusively on medical, but also ethical, social and spiritual issues. Hence, health care providers should proceed under a holistic approach in the interests of patients once all curative treatments have been disregarded. |
