The Keynote speaker was Steve Wexner from the Cleveland Clinic and John Northover from St. Marks was the ACPGBI President.
As a consultant working in a large neurosurgical intensive care unit, I frequently have to deal with the management of patients who have suffered injuries which lead to brain death.
In this talk I will outline the diagnosis of brain death, including brain stem death testing, and will discuss the ethical and legal issues associated with this demanding area of intensive care practice.
Preconditions
