Outcomes manager: brain death criteria in the pediatric patient

Article Abstract:

Critical care nurses may deal with the issue of brain death in pediatric patients on a regular basis. Brain death may result from injury or illness. Clear cases of brain death involve total heart and respiratory failure, however, most cases are not clear. Guidelines for determining brain death may not be followed exactly, especially in testing for cessation of breathing. Nurses should work with other medical staff and families in cases of pediatric brain death.
