Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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?

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

Let's find out together today

Let's talk about the whole process of organ "donation-transplantation".

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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?

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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

Why is it necessary to anesthetize the body when donating body organs? Can you still feel pain when you die?

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

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

In patients with continental organ failure

Lives can be saved through organ transplants

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
