List the current criteria for whole-brain death
ANSWER:
There are eight criteria for whole-brain death. They are (1) no spontaneous movement in response to stimuli; (2) no spontaneous respirations for at least one hour;
(3) total lack of responsiveness to even the most painful stimuli; (4) no eye movements, blinking, or pupil responses; (5) no posturing activity, swallowing, yawning, or vocalizing; (6) no motor reflexes; (7) a flat EEG for at least 10 minutes; and (8) no change in these criteria when they are tested again 24 hours later. For a person to be declared dead, all eight criteria must be met. That and other conditions that might look like or mimic death, such as hypothermia or drug overdose, must be ruled out. The whole-brain standard is used to define death in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
