A descriptive and retrospective study on donors of organs for transplantations was performed at Abel Santamaría Hospital in Pinar del Río in the period of January 2000 and December 2003 aimed at assessing the most significant disorders during the management of 23 potential donors. There was an increase in the number in cases in years. Cranioencephalic trauma was the main cause of encephalic death. Hypotension and dysrrythmias were the most relevant hemodynamic disorders as well as electrolyte imbalance (hypokalemia and hypernatremia); mixed alkalosis was the most significant disorder of the acid-base balance, hypothermia, polyuria and hyperglycemia were other present disorders. The importance of a close follow-up of the donors to prevent and/or manage clinical disorders of these kinds of patients was shown. The information recorded was processed and analyzed using absolute frequencies and percentages, the results obtained were registered in tables in order to understand conclusions and recommendations.
