A 73-year-old woman was among two persons whose organs were donated for transplantation at a private hospital in Mysuru during the last one week.
Gangambike was brought to Apollo BGS hospital in Mysuru last week in an unconscious state with breathing difficulties. With the CT scan showed brain stem infarct, she was immediately shifted to the ICU for life support and intensive care.
After two to three days days on life support while she was in a critical state, an authorised panel of doctors at the hospital on July 14 declared her brain dead due to brain stem failure as per the protocols stipulated by the Transplant of Human Organs Act, 1994.
