ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish Intensive Care Association President Prof. Dr. Fethi Gül stated that the most obvious difference between brain death and vegetative state is breathing, and that breathing stops in a person with brain death and cardiac death occurs after a while. Speaking at the press conference held at the association building in Beyoğlu, Gül explained that brain death is a process determined based on neurological criteria.
He stated that brain and brainstem reflexes disappear completely irreversibly, and brain death occurs if the person cannot fulfill his/her own responsibility and other cognitive functions. Stating that brain death is a process carried out entirely according to neurological criteria, Gül said, “In fact, when we look at it historically, this is a concept that has entered the medical literature since the Middle Ages. In recent years, especially with the development of respiratory support devices and other support treatments, brain death has occurred and it has been revealed that other organs can be lost after a certain period of time.
These technologies actually represent a process supported by the heart and respiration. “There is no possibility of a brain-dead individual living again.” he said. Prof. Dr. Gül stated that in people whose brain functions stop, breathing also stops, and after a while, cardiac death occurs. Pointing out that there is no way for an individual with brain death to come back to life, Gül continued as follows: “One of the most frequently asked questions on this subject is about the difference between brain death and coma and vegetative state.” An individual who is in a coma or vegetative state can continue breathing.
Breathing has not disappeared. The most obvious, most obvious difference actually emerges here. In a person with brain death, breathing has stopped and that person has no breathing. After a while, cardiac arrest and cardiac death occur. An individual who is in a coma or vegetative state continues to breathe. “His heart continues to work on its own and you often do not support it.” Turkish Intensive Care Association President Prof.
Dr. Gül noted that brain death can be described as “complete cessation of breathing, irreversible damage to brain functions, inability of the individual to continue breathing, and complete disappearance of heart functions after a very short time.” Underlining that the diagnostic process in brain death is very important, Gül concluded his words as follows: “Brain death is a process that is carried out meticulously, with zero errors in the diagnosis process and by examining it in the most detail.
According to the latest Ministry of Health regulations, two physicians must approve the diagnosis of brain death. One of them is a neurosurgeon or neurologist, the other is an anesthesiologist or intensive care specialist. Brain death is diagnosed with the clinical examination and tests performed by at least two physicians. In some cases, we use radiological means to support the diagnosis of brain death.” “We also get support.” 16There are 54 geographically registered foods among the products offered for sale at the Gastronomy House, where the traditional flavors of Hatay are introduced.
