[Role of transplantation coordination in the development of organ donorship]

The paper considers the interaction of resuscitative anesthetists and transplantologists in the development of donorship in Russia. It is established that despite the presence of a full-fledged legal base, the-state-of-the-art of organ (cadaveric or postmortem) donorship in the country cannot be recognized as satisfactory. For this way out, the authors propose to introduce the institute of transplantational coordinators and consider the lines of their activities in case of Saint Petersburg public health care.
