Aim: The objectives of this study was (i) (8/69, 12%) and brain tumor and CNS infection. The diagnosis of brain death was made in 33 (47%) cases in the first 48 hours and 23 (33%) cases in 48-96 hours of ICU admission. With the exception of two cases, all study patients had GCS score ≤ 8 (97%). Brain death was diagnosed according to American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2010 guidelines. Only two cases Electroencephalography was done for family request. All life-sustaining measures were withdrawn in 67 (97%) cases with consent of family. Conclusion:There is no scarcity of brain death cases in our country according to our study. We need to promote and popularize the cadaveric organ transplant along with living donor transplantation.

Background and AimsOrgan donation is the last option for patients with end‐stage organ failure, but the number of people in need of transplantation outweighs the supply of donor organs. A thorough analysis of public understanding is required to design educational programs that increase public commitment to organ donation. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore Bangladeshi adults' understanding, attitudes, and willingness towards organ donation, while also investigating the sources of information, gender‐specific knowledge, intentions, and the factors influencing their decisions.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was conducted between October 15 and November 25, 2021, using a non‐probability convenience sampling technique. Data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsAmong 592 participants, only 35.8% were knowledgeable about organ donation. Internet/online sources were the most reported source of knowledge (37.8%), followed by social media (36%). Despite having limited knowledge, 63.7% had a positive attitude, with females demonstrating a more positive attitude than males (β = 0.09, p = 0.024). Males were significantly more likely than females to follow Bangladesh's specific organ donation laws (29.3% vs. 25%, p = 0.004). Besides, 48.6% of females, compared to 40.4% of males, believe that the health service related to organ donation in Bangladesh is ineffective (p = 0.016). More than one‐third (35.1%) of the participants indicated a willingness to donate their organs after death. The participants' significant barriers to organ donation were found to be family objections (40.4%), health complications (34.4%), fear of disfigurement (31.1%), and religious barriers (26.8%).ConclusionAlthough Bangladeshi adults have a positive attitude regarding organ donation, they lack adequate knowledge, which renders them unlikely to be eager to donate organs. Therefore, it is crucial to update policy within a sociocultural framework to boost organ donation for transplantation. National education campaigns and awareness‐raising events should be held in Bangladesh to increase public knowledge of organ donation and transplants.
