The diagnosis of brain death requires: (1) the performance of all appropriate and therapeutic procedures; (2) the presence of cerebral unresponsivity, apnea, dilated pupils, absent cephalic reflexes, and electrocerebral silence; and (3) if one of these criteria cannot be tested or is met imprecisely, the performance of a confirmatory test to demonstrate the absence of cerebral blood flow. Selective cerebral arteriography has been the most widely used method of assessing cerebral blood flow. Digital intravenous angiography was used as a means of evaluating cerebral blood flow, and it was found to be a useful confirmatory test in the diagnosis of brain death.
（1）实施所有适当的治疗程序；（2）存在大脑无反应性、呼吸暂停、瞳孔散大、头面部反射消失以及脑电静息；（3）如果这些标准中的一项无法检测或未精确满足，则进行确证试验以证明脑血流不存在。选择性脑动脉造影一直是评估脑血流最广泛使用的方法。数字静脉血管造影被用作评估脑血流的手段，并且发现它在脑死亡诊断中是一种有用的确证试验。
