Study of blood-surface damage in brain-dead organ donors
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at damage to a protective layer on blood vessels in people who have been declared brain dead. The goal is to better understand what happens in brain-dead donors, which could help improve organ donation care and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be declared brain dead by clinical exam
- You must be in a critical condition as part of organ-donor care

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether there is truly no blood flow to the brain during a specific type of organ donation. It aims to confirm safety and timing by using neurological monitoring during the process.
This study looks at the brain's natural cleaning system in people who have just passed away and are registered as organ donors. It aims to understand how this system works, which could one day help with brain diseases.
This trial tests special monitors on organ donors after life support is withdrawn, to see how the organs and brain behave. It may help improve organ transplant outcomes.
This trial compares different anesthesia strategies used during organ donation surgery after brain death to see which one helps preserve organs better for transplant. It is for brain-dead adult patients in the ICU whose families agree to organ donation and research participation.
This study tests a small breathing device for people who have been declared brain dead and are donating organs. It may help keep their lungs healthy during the donation process.
This study tests whether placing organ donors who have been declared brain-dead face down (prone) can improve the condition of their lungs for transplant and help people who receive those lungs recover better. If you are a potential donor, this may increase the chances that your lungs can be used to save a life.
