U.S., April 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07505589) titled 'Pacing In Organ Donors (the POD Trial)' on March 17.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of pacing the phrenic nerve to stimulate the diaphragm in order to improve the lung function in brain dead organ donors. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Proof of concept and feasibility
* Can lung function be improved in lungs that have been disqualified for donation
Participants will have an AeroPace catheter inserted and will be paced on every breath up to the time of organ donation.
