Abstract

It is established practice in intensive care units (ICU) for relatives to be excluded from brain stem death testing. However, times are changing and this is evident in other areas of health care, where fathers are now present during childbirth and relatives may be given the choice of being present during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In Part One of this serial, it was suggested that with relatives now being present during resuscitation it will only be a matter of time before requests to witness brain stem death testing are made. This article will focus on the barriers that inhibit the presence of family during brain stem death testing. A strategy that aims to facilitate their presence will then be proposed.

摘要

在重症监护病房（ICU），不让亲属参与脑干死亡测试是既定做法。然而，时代在变化，这在医疗保健的其他领域很明显，现在分娩时父亲可以在场，亲属也可以选择在心肺复苏（CPR）期间在场。在本系列文章的第一部分中，有人指出，既然现在亲属在复苏过程中可以在场，那么请求见证脑干死亡测试只是时间问题。本文将重点探讨阻碍家属在脑干死亡测试期间在场的障碍。然后将提出一项旨在方便他们在场的策略。
