Brief Summary

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

Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as requirement for dialysis in the first week following kidney transplantation. DGF is a common complication occurring in 39% of the deceased donor renal transplants at the investigators' institution with significant cost and outcome implications. The 3 major risk factors for DGF are donor graft characteristics, recipient factors and perioperative management. The most easily modifiable of these factors is perioperative management, in particular intraoperative fluid therapy. The investigators propose to compare the amount of fluid administered using the current standard of care with the fluid administered when optimizing the cardiac output (CO) using Esophageal Doppler Monitoring (EDM) to guide fluid therapy. EDM measures blood flow in the descending aorta, optimizing stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) by indicating when fluid administration fails to produce an increase in CO.

Study Groups

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

Goal directed fluid therapy using esophageal doppler monitor

The esophageal doppler monitor directs the fluid therapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Esophageal Doppler Monitor

Intervention Type DEVICE

Esophageal doppler monitoring (EDM) is a minimally invasive means of continuously measuring the cardiac output from the pattern of blood flow in the descending thoracic aorta.

Fluid therapy using standard management

The esophageal doppler monitor is in place however blinded to the healthcare providers, fluid management is as per standard clinical practice.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
