The role of healthcare professionals to improve organ donation and transplantation rating: A national survey
The consent rate and donor management in the cases of brain death is unacceptable. The coordinators need the training to increase their efficiency in terms of family approach and maintenance of brain death. Only by improving the level of family consent and increasing the coordinators' maintenance skills for brain death cases, the amount of organ donation in Iran can be doubled to the current amount.
