Filter by:This study consists in an cluster-randomized clinical trial involving near 60 Brazilian intensive care units (ICUs) with a high notification rate of potential donors of organs and tissues. ICUs will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to manage potential organ donors through the use of a evidence-based checklist or to manage potential organ donors according usual care. The primary outcome is the rate of losses of potential donors due to cardiac arrest. Secondary outcome measures include number of effective organ donors and number of organs recovery per effective donor. The first subject was enrolled on June 20, 2018.
A dedicated guide for physicians and organ procurement nurses meeting with the next of kin could be associated with a reduction in organ donation refusal rate, and in anxiety of professionals involved in such meetings
Investigators will evaluate organ donation educational videos with a 2x3 single blinded Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in partnership with our 26 Latino Owned Barbershops (LOBs). The testimonial video about Uncontrolled Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (uDCDD) with an uplifting ending will serve as control. Experimental videos may include live uDCDD footage, differing endings, or combinations. Video production will be informed by the entertainment education model and produced with experts including an Academy Award winning filmmaker. The primary outcome is whether participants immediately enroll in the NY State Organ Donor Registry (either online or by our RA mailing in the official form with prepaid postage). Investigators hypothesize that each video will induce differences in registration compared to the control and that there is an interaction effect with video genre and story outcome.
The investigators aim to experimentally manipulate presence of questions on positive or negative affective attitudes to see if including these moderate as intention to become an organ donor. The methodology will be replicated across three international sites (RCSI Dublin, RCSI Bahrain, RCSI Perdana University).
To protect kidney function during the transplantation process by comparing mild hypothermia in the deceased organ donor before organs are recovered and pulsatile perfusion of the kidney after recovery and prior to transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and generalizability of a communication intervention (Communication Effectively about Donation (CEaD)) for Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) staff requesters and to compare two conditions of delivering the CEaD. The experimental design will test: (1) the overall efficacy of the intervention on timely referral and consent for organ donation and (2) whether a completely autonomous condition (no outside training assistance) is clinically equivalent to the assisted condition (training provided by outside consultants) in terms of the final outcome of consent to donation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of brief organ donation video interventions on consent for organ donation among college and university students. Our hypothesis is that the organ donation video interventions will be superior to lay health websites for increasing organ donation consent.
