Role of Transcranial Doppler Sonography in Confirmation of Brain Death
The aim of the study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD) as a confirmatory test for diagnosis of brain death and to assess the possibility of adding this test to the protocol for diagnosis of brain death in ICU. TCD examination was done in 20 patients (group I) with brain death confirmed either by clinical assessment and EEG (17 patients) or...
متن کاملCLINICAL REPORT BRAIN CT Perfusion for Confirmation of Brain Death
SUMMARY: For pronouncing brain death, unlike CTP, the 2-phase CTA gives no functional information and is limited by inadvertent delay of the second acquisition, which may give false-negative results. The purpose of our study was to compare CTP and CTA derived from the CTP data with the Dupas and Frampas criteria for confirmation of brain death. A retrospective review of CTP in 11 consecutive pa...
متن کاملConfirmation of brain death using brain radionuclide perfusion imaging technique.
OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of radionuclide cerebral blood perfusion imaging in confirming brain death irrespective of continued heartbeat. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients (19 male and 9 female, aged 17-63 years) with severe brain injury and fully supported until the final cardiac asystole were included in the study. Two sets of clinical tests aimed at ascertaining brain...
متن کاملComputed tomography (CT) angiography for confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of brain death.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of death using neurological criteria (brain death) has profound social, legal and ethical implications. The diagnosis can be made using standard clinical tests examining for brain function, but in some patient populations and in some countries additional tests may be required. Computed tomography (CT) angiography, which is currently in wide clinical use, has been identi...
متن کاملCardiac sodium channel gene mutations and sudden infant death syndrome: confirmation of proof of concept?
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a multifactorial disorder in which newborns tragically die in their sleep for no obvious reason and without prior warning. SIDS is defined as “the sudden death of an infant which is unexpected by history, and in which a full postmortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death.”1 Although SIDS may occur in more than one child in a family,...
