Abstrakt: Little information is available in the medical and nursing literature concerning organ recovery from brain-dead, pregnant individuals. Many healthcare professionals might rule out such patients as potential donors, especially if childbirth is a possibility. This article presents an actual case study in which the birth of a healthy infant and recovery of organs from the mother were successful. It also reviews the available literature and discusses factors related to organ placement.
