The inferiority of organs from brain dead donors is reflected by impaired graft survival and patient outcome. Brain death effects hemodynamic stability, hormonal changes, and neuroimmunologic effects and unleashes a cascade of inflammatory events. Despite considerable efforts in experimental and clinical research, most of the mechanisms linked to brain death are only appreciated on a descriptive level. This overview presents our current understanding of the pathophysiology and consequences of brain death on organ injury and summarizes available therapeutic interventions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
