Brain death confirmation.

Brain death confirmation. Radiologe. 2020 Apr 07;: Authors: Haussmann A, Yilmaz U Abstract The number of patients waiting for a new organ has continuously decreased in recent years. Brain death confirmation plays an important role in the clinical routine concerning a possible organ transplantation. In many countries a strictly defined protocol prescribes the required neurological examination and ancillary test criteria. Therefore, many years of experience and expertise is absolutely necessary for neurologists and neuroradiologists. Pitfalls can sometimes be very challenging for the treating physicians.
