This report describes a case of implementation of the Brain Death Protocol in an adult donor, culminating in the procurement of solid organs (liver and kidneys) for transplantation. The patient was a 63-year-old male, a victim of severe traumatic brain injury after falling down stairs. The objective of this report is to describe the conduct of this important protocol, which is one of the eligibility criteria for organ donation in Brazil, and to highlight and discuss barriers to the process.
