To define the main factors related with cornea non-donation of potential donors in a University Hospital of Curitiba.The potential corneal donators who died at the I.C.U and at Emergency Section at Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba (HUEC) between November 2007 and February 2008 were selected. A close relative was interviewed by telephone, following a standard interview protocol.The most significant result was that from the 64 relatives interviewed, 60 (93.75%) had not been approached about the organ donation. From the same group, 32 (53.33%) would have consented the corneal donation if the approach had been performed.The low number of relatives approaches by physicians at the time of death was the main handicap in the process of corneal donation permission. |
