Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain death is determined by the complete and irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including the brainstem, which controls essential functions such as breathing and heart rate. Medical technologies can be used to determine brain death, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and cerebral perfusion scans. Clinical death refers to the cessation of heartbeat and breathing, but it is possible to revive in some cases with medical intervention. Cessation of the flow of bodily fluids and cellular death are not used to determine if someone is alive or dead.
