Organ donation awareness is very poor in India. We have a high demand for transplant organs with poor supply. Apnea test is the confirmatory test for brain death in our country. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act does not support any ancillary testing for the confirmation of brain death in our country. Radionuclide scan is used widely in western countries as a confirmatory test. We in our institution used this as a tool for family counseling with successful conversion rate.
在印度，器官捐赠意识非常淡薄。我们对移植器官的需求很高，但供应却很匮乏。在我国， apnea测试是脑死亡的确证性测试。《人体器官移植法》不支持我国进行任何用于确证脑死亡的辅助测试。放射性核素扫描在西方国家被广泛用作确证性测试。我们所在的机构将其用作家庭咨询工具，转化率很高。
