Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Influence of donor capnometry on renal graft evolution in uncontrolled donation after circulatory death
Authors' conclusion
Capnometry levels at transfer are a useful predictor of the short-term function and viability of kidney transplants from uncontrolled donations after circulatory death.
Study context
- Population
- Potential donors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) unresponsive to advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (uDCD), and their kidney grafts12 viable donors
- Participants
- 34 participants
- Outcome
- Association between donor capnometry (start, midpoint, transfer to hospital) and short-term renal graft evolution
