abstract="BACKGROUND: Successful organ donation has been reported after death from poisonings with cyanide, carbon monoxide, methanol, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants. In this report, we describe a case of multiple organ donation from a previously healthy individual who died from poisoning with the long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide, brodifacoum. METHODS: Case report and review of the literature. RESULTS: All organs procured from the poisoned donor functioned adequately, and there were no hemorrhagic complications in any of the recipients. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that brodifacoum poisoning is not an absolute contraindication to organ donation from brain-dead patients who have sustained a fatal ingestion.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
