Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of mild-to-moderate hypothermia as an in-vivo organ preservation strategy compared to normothermia in 60 brain-dead organ donors.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hypothermia (32-33 degree C)

Following randomization, hypothermia will be induced by a combination of cold isotonic fluid and sustained until organ procurement by a central venous catheter

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cold isotonic fluid and central venous hypothermia catheter

Intervention Type OTHER

20-30ml/kg of isotonic crystalloid resuscitation fluid will be used for induction. Hypothermia (32-33 degrees C) will be sustained until organ procurement using an FDA approved central venous catheter connected to an external temperature regulating system

Normothermia (36.5 - 37.5 degree C)

Normothermia will be maintained until organ procurement as per current standard of care

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
