In this episode of Critical Care Time, neurointensivist Dr. Sean Marinelli joins Nick & Cyrus to tackle brain death/death by neurologic criteria. We break down the prerequisites, neurologic exam, apnea testing, ancillary studies, and the challenging situations where things get complicated—including confounders, ECMO, and families struggling to understand how someone with a beating heart can have died. This is essential knowledge for anyone caring for critically ill patients. Listen or watch now, and if you enjoy the episode, subscribe, leave us a review, and drop a comment with your thoughts!
