Brain death patients who are selected for organ donation very often suffer from haemodynamic
instability. To treat this, high amounts of vasoactive drugs(norepinephrine) may be needed to
raise blood pressure. However,norepinephrine may have negative influence on several organs
causing reduced blood flow ischemia. Our hypothesis is that hydrocortisone treatment may
reduce the amount of vasoactive drugs needed to keep the blood pressure stable in patients
selected for organ donation.
