Abstract

Uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors offer the opportunity to significantly expand the potential pool of kidney donors but are associated with a variable duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), where cardiac output is only 30% to 40% of normal. We were concerned that prolonged CPR would adversely affect the function of transplanted kidneys. In our series of 46 uncontrolled donors the mean duration of CPR was 60 minutes, which also represents a realistic cutoff point for CPR duration. Taking a cutoff point of 60 minutes, we found no differences in kidney discard rates following viability assessment, primary nonfunction rate, or duration of delayed graft function. We therefore conclude that if formal viability assessment is performed, kidneys may be retrieved from uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors irrespective of duration of CPR. © 2005 by Elsevier Inc.
