HOW TO CONSIDER AND MANAGE BRAIN DEATH IN AN EMERGENCY SETTING

Year 2000, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 38 - 44, 03.12.2016

Abstract

There is at present considerable confusion with respect to the ethical guidelines that should govern the behavior of society and the physician confronted by problems resulting from the recent discoveries of medicine and science. The documentation of the ending of life has religious, legal, and practical implications (1). The use of life supporting devices raises the problem of determining when death has occurred and what is proper ethical procedure in dealing with the deficient half life caused by "Brain Death" (BD). Some guidance is obtained from a consideration of the nature of life, the nature of death, the nature of man, and the essence lost in death of man (2). The clinical tests correspondingly shift from those implying loss of brain function to those implying thermodynamically supracritical microstructural damage diffusely throughout the body
