[On the determination of brain death].
In a prospective study of 20 cases of brain-stem death, EEG and TCD studies were correlated with clinical findings. We suggest that TCD can be incorporated into institutional protocols as a rapid and useful technique for confirmation of brain death. Our observations underline the need for electrophysiological confirmation (evoked potentials) of brain-stem death in patients with primary infratentorial lesions.
