Brief summary

Each year, only one third of patients registered on the waiting list receive a kidney transplant. Numerous paths are being explored with the aim of reversing this shortage. The first is to increase the number of organs by developing harvesting from donors in a state of brain-death (BD) termed "expanded criteria donors" or from patients deceased from circulatory arrest. Another fundamental factor is to insure the success of the transplant by limiting the dysfunction of donor kidneys, marked by a delayed graft function (DFG). The development of techniques to insure correct perfusion of harvested organs, and the optimization of reanimation and intensive care of brain-dead donors constitute important factors in DGF reduction. Therapeutic Hypothermia could to be an attractive care strategy for BD patients.

Interventions

PROCEDUREProcedure control: normothermia

Temperature will be maintained between 36.5° and 37.5°C in the control group. In case of temperature superior to 37.5°C or inferior to 36.5°C, a pharmaceutical treatment and/or active cooling or warming will be introduce to maintain temperature between the range of 36.5 - 37.5°C.

PROCEDUREProcedure active

Therapeutic hypothermia ie targeted controlled temperature between 34° and 35°C will be induced in the active group. Usual method of controlled temperature will be used in ICU: internal active method or external active method.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
rate of patients with delayed graft function (DGF)Day 7DGF is the recipient's requirement for dialysis during the first week after transplantation. To show the interest of Targeted Temperature Management in order to optimize the functional recovery of transplanted kidney transplants by comparing 2 groups of recipient subjects: those receiving one Graft from an "expanded criteria donors" maintained in hypothermia (34°-35°) and those receiving a graft from an "expanded criteria donors" maintained in normothermia (36,5°-37,5°).
