Preferred term

brain death  

Definition

  • Advances in medicine, surgery, and public health have gradually increased the average life expectancy of the population. At the same time, patients with chronic diseases experience increased survival periods in relatively good health, leading to advanced single or only few organ failures, making them adequate candidates for organ replacement via transplantation.
