SUMMARY:Brain-Based Definition and Determination of Death in Canada
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In April 2023 the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia published a sp
 ecial issue developed around a Clinical Practice Guideline update for deat
 h determination\, titled “A brain-based definition of death and criteria
  for its determination after arrest of circulation or neurologic function 
 in Canada: a 2023 clinical practice guideline”. A 60-person multidiscipl
 inary panel consisting of critical care nurses and physicians (adult and p
 ediatric)\, radiologists\, neurologists\, neurointensivists\, anesthesiolo
 gists\, ethicists\, lawyers\, patient families and public partners\, as we
 ll as methodologists from across Canada used a rigorous process to develop
  a unified brain-based definition of death and update the criteria for its
  determination after devastating brain injury or circulatory arrest. This 
 guideline replaces previously published Canadian recommendations for defin
 ing and determining death\, and includes recommendations for medical\, leg
 al and ethical practices as well as guidance for how to compassionately co
 mmunicate with families during the tragic loss of a loved one. \n\nTo lear
 n about the new definition and its implications for your practice\, please
  join us for a webinar where Dr Sam Shemie\, the leader of the multidiscip
 linary panel\, discusses the guideline update. \n\n\nhttps://secure.cas.ca
