Abstract

Current criteria in the diagnosis of brain death are based upon:

  1. 1.

    Clinical history (exclusion of reversible conditions like hypothermia, intoxication)

  2. 2.

    Physical examination (coma, apnea, absence of brain stem function)

  3. 3.

    Adequate observation period (depending on the age of the patient and the underlying cause of the brain lesion).
