Brain death is defined by medical authorities as irreversible cessation of all brain activity.
Simply stated, this means that the brain is no longer alive and cannot be brought back to life. The determination of brain death depends on very definite clinical and laboratory findings. There is no gag reflex or cough reflex. The third of the above three tests is the most commonly used because it is the most easily performed at the patient's bedside. Inc.
