But have you thought about what is called 'brain dead', let's try to understand.

Who is called 'brain dead'?

In medical terms, 'brain dead' is a condition in which all the activities of the brain stop completely and permanently. This means that the person's brain is no longer able to breathe, control heartbeats, or signal for any body activities. It is considered equivalent to death in medical parlance, even if the body is kept alive with the help of ventilators and other tools.

How does such a condition come about?

Brain death can usually be caused by a severe head injury, bleeding in the brain, or lack of oxygen. To diagnose this, the doctor performs a variety of tests, such as checking the response, ability to breathe, and analyzing blood flow to the brain.

Brain dead required

for organ donation are considered different from the physical coma or vegetative state, because some brain activity is left in these conditions. The condition with brain death is important for organ donation. Organs from a person declared brain dead, such as a heart, kidney, or liver, can be donated to needy patients as other organs in their body can still function. In this process, the permission of the family is taken.

Medical Education Secretary Ambarish Kumar said that 33-year-old Vishnu Prasad was admitted to Jhalawar Medical College on December 11 after he suffered serious injuries. Despite all the efforts of the doctors, it was not possible to save Vishnu, later Vishnu was declared 'brain dead'.

After Vishnudas was declared brain dead, his family's son was motivated to donate his organs. The family agreed to donate Vishnu's organs (both kidneys, liver, heart, lungs and both corneas).

One kidney, heart and lungs were allotted to Sawai Man Singh Hospital in

Jaipur. For the first time, the organs were brought from Jhalawar to SMS Hospital Jaipur for transplant with the help of a helicopter. Similarly, a kidney and liver transplant were done at AIIMS Jodhpur and in this hospital too, organs were airlifted from Jhalawar.

According to officials, Medical Education Secretary Ambrish Kumar and Medical Education Commissioner Iqbal Khan and other officials played a key role in the process of organ donation which led to the successful completion of organ donation and transplantation. Kumar said that the department will encourage people to donate organs by running special campaigns through various NGOs for organ donation.
