Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Donors brain-dead after successful resuscitation of cardiac arrest: Early outcome and postoperative complications of lung recipients
Authors' conclusion
Receiving a graft from a CA donor did not worsen the outcome of LT recipients.
Study context
- Population
- Consecutive lung transplant recipients, Bichat Claude Bernard Hospital, Paris, January 2016–December 202066 (28%) CA donor grafts
- Participants
- 236 recipients
- Exposure
- Lung transplant from CA donor vs non-CA donor
- CAn = 66
- Outcome
- Survival of lung transplantation (LT) recipients
- Follow-up
- One year
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
One-year mortality
- CA donor graft not an independent risk factor for recipient one-year mortality (multivariate analysis)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Graft characteristics and early postoperative complications
- Not different in CA and non-CA groups
CA donor characteristics
- Median no flow duration, minutes
- 4 [0-10]
- Median low flow duration, minutes
- 20 [15-30]
- Shockable rhythm
- 11 (17%)
- Non-shockable rhythm
- 47 (72%)
