Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our objective in this study will be to determine if implementing the glucose/insulin clamp (GICT) on cadaveric organ donors can:

* Prevent hyperglycaemia
* Drop in the inflammatory cytokine response after brain death after a minimum of 6 hours therapy with the GICT prior to organ procurement.
* Assess organ (heart, liver, pancreas and kidney) survival at one year post-transplant
* Assess graft function by evaluating:

* Liver: post-transplant liver function score (PTLF)
* Kidney: graft function as defined by UNOS (immediate graft function IGF, slow graft function SGF and delayed graft function DGF and
* Pancreas: 7 day post-transplant insulin requirement, C-peptide and C-RP levels at day one and seven post-transplantation

Glucose/Insulin Clamp

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyperinsulinemic/normoglycemic clamp

Intervention Type OTHER

Dextrose/insulin therapy will start. Dextrose and insulin are given using the so-called "normoglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp". Plasma insulin concentration will be increased by a 2ìU/kg/min continuous infusion of insulin. Dextrose will be infused at the rate required to maintain normoglycemia (4-6 mmol/l) until cross clamping of the aorta. The dextrose/insulin therapy will be maintained for a time period of minimum 6 hours.
