Abstract

Los llamados protocolos de donación de órgano en asistolia no controlada (DANC) han sido implementados en varios países, como España y Francia, para incrementar la disponibilidad de órganos para trasplante. Permiten la obtención de riñones, hígados y pulmones de pacientes que no sobreviven a una reanimación cardio-pulmonar realizada en contexto extra-hospitalario. De manera simultánea al desarrollo y proliferación reciente de estos protocolos, algunos equipos de emergencias han comenzado a emplear métodos no-convencionales de reanimación cardiopulmonar, con resultados todavía inciertos, pero prometedores. La coexistencia de estas dos posibilidades plantea algunas preguntas: ¿En qué momento deben abandonarse los intentos de salvar a un paciente con paro circulatorio y comenzar a considerarlo como un donante potencial de órganos? ¿Cómo se gestionan los posibles conflictos de lealtades que pueden surgir entre los equipos de emergencias y de extracción? ¿Cómo se debe gestionar la información ofrecida a los familiares de esos pacientes y potenciales donantes de órganos? Este artículo recaba las conclusiones de un seminario en el que un grupo de trabajo interdisciplinar abordó estas cuestiones y otras relacionadas con la DANC y la reanimación cardiopulmonar no-convencional.
