Abstract
The greater the advance in terms of knowing about acu-te encephalic injury (AEI) and its potential evolution to encephalic death (ED), the higher the possibilities of finding donors, with the corresponding reduction of waiting lists. As we see it, intensivists must consider this possibi lity whenever they face victims of neuroinjury, regard less of its etiology. In addition to this, it is essential for them to know the pathophysiology of encephalic death syndrome, and the steps to be taken for a complete, tho rough and strict neurologic exam.
