Extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) stabilized a brain-dead donor with severe hypotension, enabling successful kidney transplantation. This method yielded viable grafts for recipients, even with long cold ischemia times.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Cardiology
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Brain-dead donors often experience hemodynamic instability and organ dysfunction.
- Severe hypotension and lactic acidosis can compromise kidney graft viability.
- Vasoactive agents may not fully restore hemodynamic stability in such cases.
