| Language pair: | English to Spanish |
| Definition / notes: | Most organ donors are patients who die as a result of a severe head injury, brain haemorrhage or stroke and who are on a ventilator in a hospital intensive care unit. In these circumstances death is diagnosed by brain stem tests. The ventilator provides oxygen which keeps the heart beating and blood circulating after death. These donors are called heartbeating donors. |
