Overview
The article shows the potential of the Power M-mode in TCD examination of seriously ill patients. The authors analyze their experience with this relatively new method through case reports and therewith they show the pitfalls, advantages and disadvantages of the method. TCD is a non-invasive bedside examination that can significantly shorten the time of brain death diagnosis and allow earlier activation of the organ salvage programme within the current legal constraints.
Key words:
Power-M mode – TCD – anaesthesia – intensive care – brain death
