    Brain death is defined as the irreversible loss of all brain functions, including the brainstem. The diagnosis of brain death requires the demonstration of coma with absent brainstem reflexes, apnea testing to prove the lack of respiratory drive, and the exclusion of hypothermia or central nervous system depressant drug effects as potential confounding factors. Correct diagnosis of brain death is important for organ donation and certification of death.
