The establishment of criteria for brain death is important for decision making in the treatment of critically ill patients. Our experience involving 15 children with coma, apnea, and absent brain-stem reflexes for a period of greater than three days supports previous reports in adults that the diagnosis of brain death can be made by clinical criteria alone. None of these patients survived, and each of the 11 autopsies performed revealed marked liquefactive necrosis in the brain.
制定脑死亡标准对于重症患者治疗中的决策至关重要。我们对15名昏迷、无呼吸且脑干反射消失超过三天的儿童的经验支持了先前在成人中的报道，即仅通过临床标准即可做出脑死亡诊断。这些患者无一存活，所进行的11例尸检均显示脑部有明显的液化性坏死。
