Breathing without a ventilator during kidney transplant surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to keep you asleep during a kidney transplant without using a breathing tube or ventilator. It aims to help you recover faster and with fewer breathing problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- This is your first kidney transplant, and the kidney comes from a deceased donor whose heart stopped after brain death (Category I).
