    AbstractIn Germany the extent of organ donation is still inadequate and not sufficient to address patients on the waiting lists. Nevertheless, intensive care treatment of potential organ donors does not receive adequate attention. However, because of the increasing age and comorbidities of organ donors in recent years, a sufficient intensive care treatment is indispensable for the success of organ transplantations. Sufficient randomized clinical trials are lacking. This article reviews the current literature and describes approaches for improvement. Multicentre studies and education of medical staff of intensive care units, for example in intensive care simulation for organ protection, could potentially be a successful approach. The improvement and establishment of curricular training and education particularly in simulation workshops might be a promising approach to enhance the quantity and quality of organ donations.
