Official Title: Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial of Intravenous Naloxone to Improve Oxygenation in Hypoxemic Lung-Eligible Brain-Dead Organ Donors

Brief Summary: Brain-dead patients who provide authorization for organ donation will be randomized to naloxone or placebo if baseline arterial blood gas (ABG, after initiation of OPO management) reveals hypoxemia (PF ratio < 300), unless they have already been ruled-out for lung recovery. Investigators aim to assess whether naloxone improves oxygenation prior to organ recovery more than placebo.
