After the diagnosis of brain death has been made, the donor management is a continuation of the previous intensive care. The paper reviews the brain death donor management standards established on the basis of a physiologically justified active approach.The maim elements of the donor management protocol include the invasive monitoring of the central and peripheral hemodynamic parameters, the correction of hemodynamic impairments, and hypothermia, the use of hormonal therapy, an adequate mechanical lung ventilation.An active or even aggressive brain death donor management allows the control and correction of pathophysiological processes, thereby increasing the number and improving the functional state of donor organs.
