Study of the Brain's Natural Cleaning System in Potential Organ Donors.
This study is not a drug or treatment trial. Researchers want to map exactly how the brain's natural waste-drainage system connects to lymph nodes in the neck. They will inject a harmless fluorescent dye into the meningeal space of recently deceased organ donors and use a special camera to watch where it travels. Phase NA means this is purely an observational mapping study, not testing a therapy.
You may qualify if
- Potential organ donor patients, both in Brain Death and in Controlled Asystole, candidates to perform organ harvesting authorized by the Transplant and Tissue Coordination of the Universitary Germans Trias i Pujols Hospital, according to the usual channels and whose family members have previously signed the authorization of the donation and the specific informed consent of the study. Will be included in the study always after death is certified by neurological or cardiocirculatory criteria
You're excluded if
- Absence of informed consent signed by family members.
- Individuals with a history of having intracranial lymphatic drainage affected.
