Life expectancy and organ donation
Introduction.
Organ donation is an altruistic gesture that can save one or more lives when one no longer needs organs. And there are currently thousands of people who continue living or improving their quality of life need a transplant. The waiting lists are increasing Traffic has descended significantly in recent years.
In Ecuador there are more than 700 patients waiting for an organ; The donation has several death scenarios, when a person suffers brain and doctors certify the person as a cadaveric donor or when a person is alive being able to donate blood, donate a kidney or part of his liver. However, despite being an action of solidarity, compassion and goodness, it should be noted that there are prejudices or causes that prevent a person from becoming a donor. These causes can be considered as "myths" that in this investigation will be mostly denied.
Until 2018, in our country there were 7.7 donors per million inhabitants, thus exceeding the first myth about organ donation in Ecuador, however, several of the obstacles to continue developing these acts of solidarity are what causes a Reduction of such numbers. Among them is to judge the role of hospitals personnel when performing these procedures with reference not a certain donor will always be assigned to your disposal.
Developing.
When a person dies for example due to brain death, many times families do not want Black Market. This idea is wrong, since when a body in that case is ready to donate is assigned to a group of 20 doctors or more to leave the body intact after having collected the organs to be donated necessary.
This problem can be solved with a donor state. In the event that doubts are present about whether the donor is completely dead or not, a wide variety of exams is made at the families where it is verified whether or not he died or not. Introducing one of the most important roles of this situation would be religious thoughts and ideas regarding organ donation.
The majority of the main religions, have the donation of organs as an act full of goodness and worthy of the divine word, however, there are others that their religion prevents them from developing that acceptance better. The Catholic, Lutheran Church, Islam and the Church of the Saints of recent days believe that organ donation is a selfless and beneficial act for people who are in serious medical conditions and need donation. Ecuador surpasses other Latin American countries in organ donation. In Paraguay the donation rate is 3 per million inhabitants. Until 2017, Mexico registered 4.5 donors per million inhabitants. In Mexico there are more than 21 thousand people on the waiting list.
In addition, the organs must be manipulated by qualified specialists and be done in accredited hospitals. For example, the liver can remain out of the human body maximum 16 hours, the maximum kidney 18, the heart one hour, so it would be difficult for it to succeed with clandestine transplant activities, in addition to the fact that organ traffic is a crime says Dr. Heredia. In Ecuador there are more than 50 accredited health establishments to carry out organ transplants. Indot says that this is essential to guarantee the attention to people who are on the waiting list, in turn, so that donations and transplants are expedited.
conclusion.
Organ donation is an altruistic gesture that can save one or more lives when one no longer needs organs. And there are currently thousands of people who continue living or improving their quality of life need a transplant. The waiting lists are increasing Traffic has descended significantly in recent years.
