A traumatic study: brain activity may continue even after the death of the patient

Concerns about connecting the timing of electrical inactivity to the brain by stopping blood circulation in donor organs after clinical death (a sudden cessation of blood circulation in the blood vessels, apnea and absence of blood vessels) Awareness). EEGs have not been performed before, so their availability can provide important information about the neurological function during this process.
The researchers evaluated the cerebral cortex electrophysiological data after separation of the organs from four patients who had a heart attack in the Canadian intensive care unit. They then extracted the Subhairline EEG and watched the heart and circulatory system, including the electrocardiogram and arterial blood pressure ABP) and the degree of oxygen saturation.
The brain stopped before cardiac arrest in three patients, but the condition of the fourth patient was different. A single delta wave continued to erupt in his brain even after both heart frequency and arterial blood pressure stopped. Although there was a difference in brain activity observed between and after cardiac death, this activity was ongoing.
In a series of 4 cases, brain activity stopped cardiac arrest and arterial pressure when three patients died but the result was different at 4. This experience underscores the need for more in-depth study of electroencephalogram planning prior to the separation of life-support equipment from the patient. Further clarification of the medical, moral and legal concerns of organ donor donation after cardiac death is of paramount importance.
