What is Ancillary Tests for Brain Death Diagnosis about?
Clinical tests cannot be used to confirm brain death in situations where: 1) preconditions are unfulfilled, 2) clinical tests are incomplete, or 3) the cause of apparent brain death is obscured by factors like drugs, medical conditions, or trauma. The two adjunctive tests recognized in Australia and New Zealand are cerebral angiography and nuclear medicine studies. Other tests like electrophysiological exams, ultrasound, and simpler nuclear scans may also play a role in diagnosis, but have limitations.
