Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Transplantation Medicine - SDBrain Death as a Prerequisite for Organ DonationDetermining brain death by neurological criteria plays a pivotal role in medical and organ donation practices. On the basis of certain scientific criteria, a procedure was developed that can assure the irreversible function failure of the brain and, hence, decide whether a patient is dead. This procedure eventually allows organs to be harvested without breaking the dead donor rule. A validated determination of the time of death is a prerequisite for the post-mortal tissue donation − the main source for organ transplantation in Germany. In this panel discussion, the latest questions with regard to brain death will be discussed within an in...
