Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So, this morning, I had a phone call from a lady who was inquiring about her brother being in ICU after cardiac arrest and potentially hypoxic brain injury. He had a prolonged “downtime” until the ICU team could restore cardiac circulation. But the MRI scan came back saying that there was some brain damage, and then all of a sudden, the ICU turns around and says that her brother was brain dead. And obviously, that’s why she called. She had no idea what that really means, and how can they determine someone being brain dead? And then it turns out, as far as she’s aware, the ICU team has not done any brain death testing. But here comes the kicker, her brother is opening his eyes spontaneously.

Now, when you look at the definition of brain death, it means someone is not doing anything at all. Not breathing, not moving, not opening eyes, nothing at all. That’s the definition of brain death. And also, brain death needs to be tested by two independent doctors, and there is a whole rigorous series of tests doctors need to go through in order to determine brain death.
