Can ultrasound help confirm brain death in children? Transcranial Doppler detects blood flow patterns and shows promise as a bedside tool for pediatric brain death determination. More research is needed to standardize its use.

The conflict has exposed the degree to which previously forbidden bigotries have penetrated the heart of the #Trump-era #Republican Party. It has also revealed a somewhat different, yet related pathology: the #BrainDeath of the #conservative movement.

3/5 Brain death certification is 🔑 b/c organs deteriorate quickly (4-12hr viability). ⏳ ⅓ of physicians lack a brain death checklist! 📝 Lack of national guidelines adds to the problem. #BrainDeath #Guidelines
🧠🇮🇳 Shocking study reveals a major gap in brain death certification knowledge among Indian neurosurgeons, neurologists & critical care specialists! 🚨 This impacts 🏥 organ donation rates & potentially saves lives. #BrainDeath #OrganDonation #India

Non-invasive multimodal monitoring (TCD, ONSD, BIS, NIRS) can supplement diagnosis of #BrainDeath when apnea test isn’t feasible.
Case series shows bedside, practical utility in ICU.

Independent Articles Addressing the Problem of Brain Death Misdiagnosis Marjorie Fitzsimmons1, Katherine Drabiak2 and Prithvi Shetty1 1USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, Tampa, United States and 2College of Public Health, University of South Florida Health, Tampa, United States Abstract Recent literature describes the controversy relating to brain death/death by neurological criteria (DNC), which some have referred to as“widely accepted, but not universally supported.” This article provides an overview of differences in state laws relating to DNC and describes recent proposals to reform the definition of brain death. In 2023, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued clinical guidelines stating that clinicians may declare a patient DNC despite evidence of neuroendocrine function— a position that directly conflicts with state law requirements for determining death. This article offers a critical analysis of AAN guidelines, an update on proposals to reform the Uniform Determination of Death Act, and explains why policy discussions should include how DNC exams occur in practice. Research suggests there are flaws with current clinical testing methods, which contributes to two separate problems: (1) false positives from insufficient testing, and (2) inadvertent misdiagnosis from unintentional errors. Together, this has produced confusion and reduced public trust in the concept of brain death. This article provides recommendations to clarify and retain the current legal standard for brain death, explains the ethical importance of accurate standards for determining DNC, and offers practical solutions to reduce errors. Keywords: brain death; death by neurological criteria; Uniform Determination of Death Act; Brain Death* / legislation & jurisprudence; Brain Death* / diagnosis; ethics; clinical
In the open-access article "Addressing the Problem of Brain Death Misdiagnosis," Marjorie Fitzsimmons, Katherine Drabiak, and Prithvi Shetty discuss issues with current policies and offer practical solutions to reduce errors.
