SUMMARY:How Can a Patient Be Dead While Their Heart Still Beats? Addressing Ethical Challenges in the Determination of “Brain Death”/Death by Neurological Criteria
DESCRIPTION:The determination of a person’s death is an important process involving both medical and societal considerations. Controversy and confusion regarding the determination of death by neurologic criteria persist at the bedside\, in the community\, and within broader policy discussions. This leads to ethical dilemmas\, narrative misunderstandings\, and a lack of clarity that can result in both medical and moral harms. How can clinicians ensure death by neurologic criteria is determined ethically\, accurately\, and consistently? How should clinicians respond to patients’ and families’ unfamiliarity with the process of determining death? Specifically\, how should clinicians approach the concept of death by neurological criteria when patients and families may not be aware of\, or open to the concept? This session will review prevailing legal and medical standards for determining death\, and offer practical strategies for how to ethically approach conflict when death by neurological criteria is at issue. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDescribe the social importance of the meaning and determination of death\, and the two current legal standards for the determination of death\, either: 1) Circulatory or\, 2) Brain Death/Death by Neurological Criteria.\nDescribe the procedures for the determination of death by neurological criteria.\nIdentify strategies to address common ethical issues that arise in the determination of death by neurological criteria.\n\nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nMargy McCullough-Hicks\, MD\, is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Minnesota and Affiliate Faculty at the Institute for Health Informatics.
