This study was conducted over 1 month in 2012 to investigate doctors` attitude towards organ donation in brain death patient after restoration of spontaneous circulation from cardiac arrest. A total of 107 residents and staffs were answered the questionnaire. Participants were selected from departments that frequently involved in managing brain death patients after cardiac arrest. More than 50% responders had an experience of managing brain death patient after cardiac arrest. However they still had difficulties in making a decision whether their patient was brain death or not, suggesting organ donation to brain death patient`s family members. To improve results of organ donation from brain death patient after cardiac arrest, further education and attitude change of doctors who are in charge of taking care of those patinets will be needed.
