Summary

Kidney cooling during multi-organ harvesting (MOH) can be imperfect, potentially harming organs. Optimizing cooling involves rapid dissection and proper contact cooling techniques to improve kidney preservation.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation surgery
  • Organ preservation science
  • Nephrology

Context:

  • Multi-organ harvesting (MOH) is critical for deceased donor transplantation.
  • Kidney preservation during MOH is essential for post-transplant function.
  • Standardized protocols for organ cooling are not fully established.

Purpose:

  • To detail kidney temperature dynamics during MOH.
  • To assess the efficacy of current kidney cooling practices.
  • To identify areas for improvement in organ preservation during MOH.

Summary:

  • Kidney temperatures were continuously monitored during MOH in 12 donors.
  • Mean minimum kidney temperature reached 10.8°C, with a cooling rate of 1.37°C/min.
  • Kidneys reheated to a mean of 21°C before resection, indicating potential cooling inefficiencies.

Impact:

  • Findings highlight suboptimal kidney cooling during MOH.
  • Identifies risks of impaired organ viability due to temperature fluctuations.
  • Suggests simple measures like rapid dissection and improved contact cooling can enhance kidney preservation.
