In our intensive care unit, brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) are measured continuously in comatose patients. For this study we examined 15 patients who fulfilled the criteria of brain death (2). Loss of BAEP in these patients inevitably means loss of brain stem function and consecutive death. Our investigation shows that continuous BAEP monitoring can be helpful for the assessment of brain death and for the earlier decision of organ explantation.
在我们的重症监护病房，对昏迷患者持续测量脑干听觉诱发电位（BAEP）。在本研究中，我们检查了15名符合脑死亡标准的患者（2）。这些患者BAEP消失必然意味着脑干功能丧失及随之而来的死亡。我们的研究表明，持续BAEP监测有助于脑死亡的评估以及更早地决定器官摘除。
