Elective intensive care unit admissions for organ donation in patients with terminal brain glioma: Case report.

Despite being eligible, only 26 patients with primary brain cancer became organ donors from 2009 to 2018 in Australia. We describe two patients with high grade gliomas who successfully donated their organs after obtaining first-person consent in the outpatient setting by careful multidisciplinary planning and an elective intensive care unit admission for organ donation. Barriers and facilitators were examined based on these experiences and suggestions for future practices are explored.
