Background Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) can be used as an
ancillary test for determining irreversible loss of brain function (ILBF) when demonstration of …

Purpose Brain death (BD) is defined as the irreversible destruction of all brain functions. It is
usually diagnosed through a clinical examination, but in certain circumstances, ancillary …

Purpose We investigated cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) at the time loss of cerebral
blood flow (CBF) occurred during brain death (BD). We hypothesized that a critical closing …

Introduction Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) may help guide
multimodal monitoring in the neurocritical setting. It may provide indirect information about …

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a repeatable, at‐the‐bedside, helpful tool for confirming
cerebral circulatory arrest (CCA). Despite its variable accuracy, TCD is increasingly used …

In Russia brain death diagnostic is still under great public attention. In such environment
confirmatory tests are absolutely necessary. Aim of our study is to investigate the cerebral …

Background and purpose Computed tomographic‐angiography (CT‐A) is becoming more
accepted in detecting intracranial circulatory arrest in brain death (BD). An international …

Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) enables the reliable assessment of
intracranial stenoses (sensitivity 94–100%, specificity 99–100%), occlusions (middle …

Background: Transcranial color duplex ultrasound (TCCD) is becoming an important tool for
cerebral monitoring of brain-injured patients. To date, TCCD reproducibility has been …

The diagnosis of brain death remains a clinical challenge for intensive care unit physicians.
Worldwide regulations in its diagnosis may differ, and the need of ancillary tests after a …
