Ladies and gentlemen who clicked in
Have you ever considered it?
Or it's already decided
Donate your own body after death
It doesn't matter if you've ever had this idea or not
You should be curious
What happens after the body is donated?
Let's find out together today
Let's talk about the whole process of organ "donation-transplantation".
First of all, the biggest concern is
How to determine that I am "dead" after that
What about those who were donated?
Will it be in the case of suspended animation or still saved
Why don't you save me because I need an organ transplant urgently?
Want to know about this
We can take a look
Criteria for determining death from organ donation
Criterion 1: Heart Death
That is, the heart stops beating
But breathing and brain function are not completely gone
It can be rescued within 3-5 minutes
Extended cardiac arrest after more than 5 minutes
It can cause irreversible brain damage and even brain death
At this point, the chances of being rescued are slim
Even if you are rescued, you may become a vegetative person
Criterion 2: Brain death
This is the best time for an organ transplant
Life in this situation is basically powerless
But the organs are still alive
Criterion 3: Brain-heart death
In this case
The doctor will pronounce death outright
If you have been dead for too long
It can affect the outcome of an organ transplant
In general
Medical evaluation of the deceased's organs
When the donation criteria are met
Organ Donation Coordinator
The family of the deceased will be contacted
Go to the next step
This step will determine whether the organ donation can be carried out properly
Even if the living person signed up for a volunteer before his death
Organ donation after death must also be obtained
Full consent of all immediate family members
As long as one family member hesitates
The donation cannot be completed
And the organs must be harvested within half an hour
without affecting its performance
So when death is just determined
The coordinator may come to the home to ask for consent from the family
On one side is death, and on the other side is new life
Coordination sometimes doesn't work out as expected
But as long as the will is achieved
The coordinator will contact you shortly
Organ Procurement Team (OPO) in your region
Organ procurement teams are generally made up of:
Surgeon, neurosurgeon
Intensive care physicians, nurses, coordination team, etc
OPO logs in
"Chinese Human Organ Allocation and Sharing Computer System"
Organ matching is carried out
Organ matching will generally be carried out in accordance with:
Urgency, geography, age
Blood group matching, waiting time, and more
It cannot be donated to a designated person
But under all equal conditions
Priority is given to family members of organ donors
To wait for the arrival of the receptor
The donor will stay in the ICU for the rest of the day
A machine is used to maintain the function of the donated organ
This waiting process
However, it will cost a lot of money
If an artificial lung (ECMO) is used
The cost of booting alone is 6-80,000 yuan
The maintenance cost per hour reached 5,000 yuan
Not to mention, after the organ is taken out of the donor
It needs to be stored with UW solution (organ preservation solution).
A bag of preservation solution can cost thousands
You may need several bags while waiting
So you understand now
Why organ donation is free
But there is a fee for organ transplantation
If the match is complete
The doctor will then harvest the organ in the shortest possible time
Then the remains are in the process of organ harvesting
Will there be perception?
First, even if the donor is pronounced dead
Doctors will still perform the procedure to anesthetize the body
It's like living surgery
This approach is considered in three main ways
First: Death is not an instantaneous occurrence
From a medical point of view
Death is a gradual process
The organs and cells of the human body will be at different points in time
Gradually loses its activity and function
Second: the body may still have a faint sense of perception
When the brain stops working
The person loses consciousness and perception
Thus it cannot be perceived
Any pain, temperature, or tactile irritation
However, this does not mean that the human body will not react
Some of the lower nerve centers
It can be done without going through the brain
Produce an instinctive firing response
This means that the body is after death
There may be some reaction to external stimuli
For example, the skin becomes red or white
Muscle twitching or contraction
Blinking or watery eyes
Lips slightly open or closed, etc
This perception may be pain
It could also be something else
We can't tell for sure
Third: anesthesia is based on humanitarian and scientific considerations
Prevent the donor from suffering after death
Anaesthesia is the most basic guarantee of respect and humanity
At the same time, giving anesthesia to the body is also a reverence for life
From a scientific point of view
The purpose of anesthesia is to ensure the quality and function of the organs
Anesthesia can improve blood circulation to the organs
Increases oxygenation and nutrition of organs
Prolong the preservation time of organs
Therefore, anesthesia of the remains is a necessary measure
After the removal surgery is completed
The body will also be carefully stitched up and carefully repaired
The appearance is guaranteed to restore the original appearance of the remains
After that, it is still up to the relatives to go through the funeral procedures normally
Go to the funeral home for cremation and bring back the ashes for burial
This step is a race for time
Transporters are in a race against time
In order to live up to the expectations of donors and recipients
This time has passed
Organs lose their function due to ischemia
Even if it doesn't exceed the time
The longer the ischemia, the worse the organ quality will be
The organs to be transplanted are escorted by a special person
It will pass through the green channel for organ transplant transportation
Shipped to the city where the recipient is located
The extinguishing of a beam of light
In exchange for the continuation of another beam of light
The brilliance of humanity in this moment
Shine your brightest light
According to relevant statistics
As of 2017
Maximum survival time for heart transplant patients
It has been more than 30 years
Maximum survival time after liver transplantation
It has also reached more than 30 years
Maximum survival time for kidney transplant patients
It has been 42 years
A person donates organs
Up to 11 lives could be saved
In 2017, 16-year-old basketball teenager Ye Sha passed away
The donated body organs gave seven people a new lease of life
Among them, 5 organ beneficiaries are in order to fulfill Ye Sha's dream
Formed a "one-man team"
Donors who have completed their donation
A certificate will be awarded
The name will also be engraved on the monument
According to WHO statistics
In patients with continental organ failure
Lives can be saved through organ transplants
About 300,000 people
But it can be surgically saved
That's only about 10,000 people
More people are needed for organ transplants
Illuminate a beam of light
Currently, there are ways to donate organs:
"Official website of Chinese Human Organ Donation Management Center"
"Local Red Cross Organ Donation Registration Stations"
"Alipay searches for 'organ donation' to enter giving
Organ Donation Volunteer Service Network"
"Register on the 'Chinese Human Organ Donation WeChat public account"
If it's you
You will choose to do it this way
End your own life?
