摘要: The acceptance of brain death by society has allowed for the discontinuation “life support” and transplantation organs. standard clinical criteria death, when rigorously applied, ensure that brainstem is destroyed. Because more rostral structures are vulnerable than brainstem, these almost invariably devastated function irreversibly lost as a result whole insults. Then, “brainstem death” “whole-brain present. However, if selectively damaged or cannot be adequately assessed clinically, ancillary tests needed to confirm whole-brain with certainty. Ancillary also required in very young children. In addition, some societies require their use matter principle. Only perfusion serve purposes.
