In Italy death of a human being must be declared either after brain death or after 20 minutes of cardiac arrest, certified by continuous electrocardiography (EKG) recording. It is my personal opinion that in such circumstances after cardiac death (DCD) will allow at best only the retrieval of few marginal kidneys and some tissues, and therefore will not be very helpful for our waiting list patients. I suggest instead modifying first the Italian law in order to be able to declare cardiac death after only 5 minutes of cardiac arrest, certified by continuous EKG recording.
在意大利，必须在脑死亡后或心脏骤停20分钟后宣布人死亡，并通过连续心电图（EKG）记录进行认证。我个人认为，在这种心脏死亡（DCD）的情况下，充其量只能获取少数边缘性肾脏和一些组织，因此对我们等待名单上的患者帮助不大。相反，我建议首先修改意大利法律，以便能够在心脏骤停仅5分钟后宣布心脏死亡，并通过连续EKG记录进行认证。
