Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A flat EEG (electroencephalogram) line indicates a lack of electrical activity in the brain, which is a criterion for brain death. This is distinct from whole-brain death (which includes the absence of brainstem reflexes) and a coma, where some brain activity usually remains. Resuscitation is not possible in cases of brain death.
