| Sumario: | <p id="p1">The intensive care unit (ICU) is crucial to solid organ transplant donor and recipient treatment, guaranteeing optimum organ procurement and transplant survival. Before retrieval, donors need specialist care to maintain organ function, whereas recipients typically need ICU-level management for rejection, infections, or organ malfunction. Improving treatment and results requires understanding these groups’ physiological and ethical needs. This chapter covers clinical procedures, ethical frameworks, and best practises for solid organ transplant donors and recipients in ICU treatment. To maximise transplant success, it optimises donor organ function and manages potential recipient complications. A multidisciplinary evaluation of literature, clinical guidelines, and case studies identified ICU transplant donor and recipient management best practices. The main areas of attention include haemodynamic stability, immunosuppressive treatment management, infection control, and donor consent and allocation ethics. ICU treatment improves donor organ viability by optimising haemodynamic support, oxygenation, and metabolic stability, reducing graft failure and improving organ quality. Early detection and treatment of rejection, infection, and organ malfunction lowers recipient morbidity and death. Ethics and family-centered communication in donor management and interdisciplinary recipient care were also stressed in this review. Effective ICU care for solid organ transplant donors and recipients needs sophisticated clinical treatments, ethical awareness, and teamwork. Clinicians may improve organ procurement, transplant results, and donor and recipient care by following evidence-based practices. This chapter emphasises the ICU’s crucial role in transplant care and offers practical ideas to improve clinical and ethical outcomes.</p> |
