Transplantation constitutes a certain possibility of treatment for some terminal stages of organ dysfunction. The priority objective of the Hospital Transplant Coordinator is to obtain the highest number of viable organs to implant in the Recipient, being necessary to improve in all phases of the Procurement/Donation process.
In this article we analyzed the activity of the Hospital Transplant Coordination at the Central Hospital of the Uruguayan Armed Forces during the first year of management, taking into account
during the first year of management, taking into account the Classical Indicators of Donor Generating Capacity.
A real increase in the Classical Indicators of Donor Generating Capacity was observed: Encephalic Deaths/Total Hospital Deaths and Encephalic Deaths/Total Polyvalent CTI Deaths, compared to previous years.
It is concluded that the figure of the Hospital Transplant Coordinator has an impact on the early detection of patients who may evolve to Brain Death.
The figure of the Hospital Transplant Coordinator has an impact on the early recruitment of patients who may progress to Encephalic Death, as well as on the optimization of donor support measures, increasing the possibility of transforming a Potential Donor into a Real Donor.
