[Diagnosis of brain death and organ donation].
The Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences published its guidelines for brain death evaluation and removal of donor organs in 1968. Based on this, the authors have designed a formal written protocol for brain death certification with the object of establishing the diagnosis of brain death beyond doubt and within reasonable time. The protocol serves for identification of suitable organ donors.
