Brief summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of this bubble and surface oxygenation and to determine the optimal timing of surface oxygenation (continuous versus intermittent) as alternative for membrane-oxygenated kidneys, originating from DCD donors, during HMP on early graft function in clinical practice.

Detailed description

Kidneys originating from deceased donors after circulatory death (DCD), category 3 and 5 (controlled) will be preserved from procurement until transplantation on hypothermic machine perfusion conditions and prospectively randomized into 2 study groups: 1) intermittent surface oxygenation during HMP (surface oxygenation interrupted during organ transport (2-4h)(I-HMPO2 group), and 2) continuous surface oxygenation during HMP (surface oxygenation during the whole machine preservation period included organ transport)(C-HMPO2 group).

Interventions

DRUGOxygen

Active oxygenation during hypothermic machine perfusion by bubble and surface oxygenation. Intermittent surface oxygenation is compared with continuous surface oxygenation during hypothermic machine perfusion
