Anesthesia study for organ donation after brain death
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older) who is brain-dead according to French law.
- You must be in the ICU at a participating hospital, and organ donation has been confirmed for at least one abdominal or chest organ.
- The organ donation surgery must be scheduled within the next 6 hours.
- Your next of kin must be informed about the study and not object to your participation.

This study looks at how brain-dead patients are cared for in the ICU before organ donation to see if certain practices help with getting more usable organs. It may help improve the donation process for future patients.
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.
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 compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
This study looks at why families of brain-dead patients or those who will be taken off life support decide against organ donation. It aims to improve how hospitals talk to families about donation.
