For a final diagnosis of brain death one needs particular proof that the brain has fully stopped functioning. In this respect, diagnostic tests need to be used to confirm the clinical findings. Since in different countries there are various national guidelines for the determination of brain death, the aim of this study is to point to the diagnostic value of electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials (EP) in verifying brain death. The need is emphasized for the two methods to be used in combination, and, accordingly, for the current national guidelines to be changed in our country and also in other countries round the world.
为了最终诊断脑死亡,需要特别证明大脑已经完全停止功能。在这方面,需要使用诊断测试来确认临床发现。由于不同国家对脑死亡的确定有不同的国家指南,因此本研究的目的是指出脑电图 (EEG) 和诱发电位 (EP) 在验证脑死亡方面的诊断价值。强调需要将这两种方法结合使用,并相应地改变我们国家和世界其他国家的现行国家指南。
