Brain monitor study aims to ensure organ donation safety
NCT ID NCT05884736
First seen May 19, 2026
Summary
This study monitors brain activity and blood flow in organ donors during a procedure called abdominal normothermic regional perfusion. The goal is to confirm that brain function does not restart after death is declared. Researchers will use brain wave and ultrasound monitors on 30 donors to provide safety evidence for this donation technique.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the donation procedure is safe and does not restart brain activity, helping standardize the technique.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 30 participants. It is observational and not testing a treatment, so it may not change practice on its own.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
