comprehensive, clinical resource for practitioners seeing patients
with acute catastrophic neurologic disorders evolving to brain
death and all its ramifications. The clinical diagnosis of brain
death has tremendous implications: its main purpose is to bring
closure, but it often results in organ and tissue transplantation
questions which need to be addressed. This third edition introduces
new research in the intensive care unit, newly unearthed historical
data on important US-UK differences, a thorough discussion of US
guidelines and how it is used in hospital practices, and compares
guidelines used elsewhere in the world. In this incisive work, the
many complexities of diagnosis and management of brain death are
examined but it also illuminates cultural beliefs and bioethical
problems, highlights the nature of conferences with family members,
and captures several organ procurement issues. The book also
includes 30 commonly asked practice problems to resolve diagnostic
uncertainties and conflicts along with 12 video clips to assist in
neurological evaluation. Brain Death is a treatise by the leading
expert on brain death, Eelco F.M. Wijdicks. This book is a work of
primary source research and includes work from recent publications
by the author. It is an invaluable resource for neurologists,
neurointensivists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, trauma
surgeons, neuroscience and intensive care nursing staff,
transplantation surgeons, and organ procurement organizations.
