Summary

This completed study looked at 35 patients undergoing apnea testing for brain death. Researchers checked if non-invasive oxygen and carbon dioxide monitors could give the same information as standard blood tests. The goal was to see if these simpler methods could be used instead of repeated blood draws.

Who is studied

The study will include adult patients (aged 18 and over) who are being monitored in the intensive care units of the University of Health Sciences Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital and are suspected of brain death, for whom an apnea test has been scheduled by their physician as part of the brain death diagnosis process. The study population will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria and for whom written informed consent has been obtained from a legally authorized representative. Patients whose first-degree relatives have declined participation, and those in whom the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) probe cannot be used due to circulatory disorders in the extremities, will be excluded from the study.
