Improved short-term outcomes of kidney transplants in controlled donation after the circulatory determination of death with the use of normothermic r…

2021

Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) allows the in situ perfusion of organs with oxygenated blood in donation after the circulatory determination of death (DCDD). We aimed at evaluating the impact of NRP on the short-term outcomes of kidney transplants in controlled DCDD (cDCDD). This is a multicenter, nationwide, retrospective study comparing cDCDD kidneys obtained with NRP versus the standard rapid recovery (RR) technique. During 2012-2018, 2,302 cDCDD adult kidney transplants were performed in Spain using NRP (n=865) or RR (n=1,437). The study groups differed in donor and recipient age, warm and cold ischemic time and use of ex situ machine perfusion. Transplants in the NRP group were m…

Assessment of the worldwide burden of critical illness: The Intensive Care Over Nations (ICON) audit

2014

Item does not contain fulltext BACKGROUND: Global epidemiological data regarding outcomes for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are scarce, but are important in understanding the worldwide burden of critical illness. We, therefore, did an international audit of ICU patients worldwide and assessed variations between hospitals and countries in terms of ICU mortality. METHODS: 730 participating centres in 84 countries prospectively collected data on all adult (>16 years) patients admitted to their ICU between May 8 and May 18, 2012, except those admitted for fewer than 24 h for routine postoperative monitoring. Participation was voluntary. Data were collected daily for a maximum of 28 da…
