In this RCT, 24-hour dexmedetomidine infusion, started immediately after induction of & in addition to standard anesthesia, reduced the incidence of delayed graft function vs placebo, following a donation-after-cardiac-death kidney transplantation. https://t.co/cmX1IEZdVX

In a series of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation cases, long-term data demonstrated that patient and graft survival were equivalent for conventional donation after circulatory death (DCD) vs. donation after brainstem death. The utilization of DCD pancreases may expand the donor pool with comparable results to DBD transplantation.
