Organ donation of a 40 year-old brain dead woman helped save multiple lives in Bengaluru and Mysuru.
The patient Savitha was admitted to Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysure, on February 18 and suffered Basal ganglia hemorrhage and underwent craniotomy. As her condition worsened, she was shifted to ICU for life support and intensive care.
N.G. Bharatheesha Reddy, vice-president and unit Head, Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, said Savitha was kept on life support for two days while she was in a very critical state. However, on Wednesday at 7.30 a.m., she was declared brain dead due to brain stem failure as per the hospital protocol stipulated by the transplant of human organs Act 1994 by panellist doctors at Apollo BGS Hospitals.
