In one day, there was capture ten kidneys, a heart, a liver, corneas and six bones
BY BEATRICE SOLOMON
Rio - A record that changed the lives of at least 11 people was recorded on holiday from 1st May. In just one day, the State Center for Transplantation (CET) River captured nearly 10% of all organs collected during the year 2012. Among the dawn of Tuesday and Thursday, 12 bodies were collected and 7 tissues from five different donors who had brain death.
Another calls attention: all captures were made by land. The chaotic traffic of Rio de Janeiro was no obstacle, because it was a holiday. "It was a historic day, thanks to measures such as increased reports of brain death and ongoing training of professionals. Furthermore, the absence of displacement facilitated transit, "says the coordinator of the State of Transplantation, Rodrigo Sarlo.
Rodrigo explains that the main work is against time. After brain death, the team has between 48 and 72 hours to collect the material that will be donated, because the heart must be beating. Another difficulty is to convince the families of donors. "In 35% of cases can not capture because the family does not authorize" estimates.
According to him, funding (10 kidneys, one heart, one liver, corneas 6 and a pickup bones) occurred in the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro and Valencia. The organs were patients of the State Center for Transplantation, Hospital Federal Bonsucesso and University Hospital Clementino Fraga Filho (Fundão).
Seven years on the waiting list and after losing both kidneys, Marco Antonio Gonçalves Barrier, 48, received an organ in last Thursday. Two years ago, he was called to the surgery, but the procedure ended up not being done because Marco was recovering from the removal of the second kidney. "It was a miracle. At St. Joseph's day we went to church and when we got home, there were two calls from the hospital, "said his wife, Marinelva Almeida.
