How Long Are Organs Viable After Brain Death 소설 & 이야기

The doctor studied her face, not believing a word of what she said, but he carried on. "I regret to say that when the heart attack happened, the oxygen supply was cut off and he didn't have access to air for more than three minutes. Because of the lack of oxygen, his brain expired. He has been pronounced brain dead, but it still depends on the family if they want to remove him for life support." He said, his face filled with deep regret and something she couldn't decipher.

The three of them approached, but, they did not dare touch her, because it looked like she was going to break if they dared touch her. "These hours are crucial." Informs the doctor. "So, if she doesn't wake up in three days it will all be over?" asks Helmut in anguish. "No, the surgery she had, it was the brain, it would be too much to ask her to wake up in three days. Only if he is not declared brain dead in the next three days, there is hope that at some point he will wake up. But, that could take days, months or years" says the doctor and all three nod.

“It’s not uncommon, sir. Patients who’ve been in a long-term coma sometimes regain consciousness gradually. The brain reawakens before the body does. It’s called post-traumatic immobility. She needs time especially considering her age.” “Time,” I repeated, the word bitter on my tongue. “How much time?” He exhaled, flipping through his chart. “It’s hard to say. A few days… maybe weeks or even months. Her vitals are steady, which is promising.” I forced myself to breathe, to listen but the questions wouldn’t stop. “What happened to her that night? Did you find out how she ended up like this?”

" Yes ...we can say that because her other organs are fine and can be donated ...." " Donated ? Don't you dare try to give out my sister's organs like a pack of sweets ". " Raymond !" Kheera called and I turned to look at her. She walked to where I'm standing and placed her hands around my shoulders . " Just calm down and let the doctor speak ..... please ...." I felt a relief rush over me so I nodded gently . " A person that is brain dead is as good as dead Mr Raymond and what I meant by donation is because her organs are still intact and we have lots of patients who are just waiting for those organs to survive but of course we can't do any of that unless you agree .... please excuse me".

He asks nearly in a panic. “Melinda had been pronounced brain dead the day before her twins went into distress. Her parents were contacted as Kristoph had never claimed her as his mate and was in jail for her assault. They made the decision to donate her organs and cremate her body afterwards. Her ashes were turned over to her mother a week later.

"The surgical team arrives in twenty minutes. They'll begin with the corneas, those can be harvested while the heart is still beating, you know. Then the kidneys, liver, and finally the heart. The process takes about four hours, all told. Quite fascinating from a medical standpoint." My legs gave out completely. I collapsed beside Eli's gurney, my hands gripping the cold metal rail so hard it hurt. "Please," I whispered, my pride gone, my dignity meaningless. "Please, I'll do anything. Take me instead. Take my organs, my life, whatever you want. Just let him go. He's innocent. He's just a little boy."
