| Research Abstract |
Brain death was diagnosed by the criteria of the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. Brainstem reflex such as light reflex or oculo-cephalic reflex, which have to be evaluated at the diagnosis of brain death, are not assessed for the patients with ocular injury, or cervical cord injury. The data from Japan Transplantation Network(JOT) are suggested that the number of the potential donor not to be able to be evaluated as brain death because of the reason mentioned above, is not small. This study is discussed the usefulness of auditory brain stem response(ABR) and the short latency somatosensory evoked potential(SSEP) for the diagnosis of brain death. And the results of this study suggests the importance of ABR, and SSEP for the diagnosis of brain death for the patients with ocular injury and/or cervical cord injury.
