Resumo

A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou significativamente os sistemas de saúde e potencialmente interferiu em diferentes etapas do processo de doação e transplante de órgãos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da pandemia na efetivação da doação de órgãos provenientes de doadores com diagnóstico de morte encefálica. Realizou-se revisão narrativa da literatura com busca na base de dados PubMed no período de 2019 a 2024, utilizando os descritores “brain death”, “organ donation” e “COVID-19”. Foram identificados 39 artigos e, após aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, sete estudos foram incluídos na análise final. De forma geral, os estudos demonstraram redução nas taxas de doação, aumento no tempo para efetivação do processo e limitações estruturais relacionadas à sobrecarga dos sistemas de saúde durante a pandemia.
