Introduction of direct brain stem testing in the 1970s’ changed the emphasis to utilising organs from so-called donation after brain death (DBD) or heart beating donors. Initially heart beating donors were used for organ donation. Later the concept of live related donor and non-heart beating donor started due to shortage of donor organs from brain dead patients, increased demand of the long waiting list, improvements in diagnosis and management of severe brain injuries and reduction in numbers of severe head injuries . Unlike DBD donors, use of these livers from non-heart beating donors is very selective and consideration was taken into the donor age, hemodynamic stability before withdrawal of support, total warm ischemic time and appearance of the liver intraoperatively. Warm ischemic time in NHBD is defined as the time between the cardiac arrest and cannulation and should be <30 minutes. Proper selection of the donor is important to achieve good results.
