    AbstractThe adequate management of brain dead donors on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is one of the major key points for a successful transplantation of harvested organs. In addition to an invasive monitoring like in any other ICU patient these patients needs a meticulous attention to their hemodynamic. The early administration of desmopressin to treat diabetes insipidus, a differentiated use of fluid resuscitation and a distinct catecholamine support are special features of an appropriate basic treatment. The administration of corticoids has to be considered if a sufficient circulation can not be regained.
