title: [New methods of electrophysiologic investigation in the diagnosis of brain death].
abstract: In the event of suspected brain death it is vital to arrive at a diagnosis as rapidly as possible and with the least chances of error. The paper examines the potentially and possible value of BAER recordings. Results are in line with those of other published studies which underline the value of this method, in spite of the fact it is limited by the possible presence of numerous factors which might invalidate recordings.
