The data were analyzed through the content analysis idealized by Bardin.\udResults: The findings indicate that the resolution of care and procedures with the potential donor is essential to the success of transplants in our country.\udConclusions: Several difficulties have been encountered, as the lack of human and material resources generating impasses in the specific care of the potential organ donor and the lack of provision of continuing education.\udKeywords: Organ donation; Intensive Care Unit; Nursing
