**3. Donor management**

Ideally, every deceased donor should be completely stable before and during transfer to the operating theater. Central venous pressure should be maintained between 10 and 12 mmHg for better function of abdominal organs but for lung retrieval this pressure should be maintained around 8 mmHg [10]. Systolic blood pressure maintenance over 100 mmHg and mean arterial pressure over 60 mmHg by using inotropes and crystalloid infusion is critical. Dopamine, dobutamine, vasopressin and nor-adrenaline may be used but when heart is being used for transplantation dosage of nor-adrenaline over 0.05 microgram/kg/min may reduce cardiac contractility after transplantation and should be avoided [11]. In such cases insertion of Swan-Ganz catheter is mandatory.
