Introduction Deterioration of the pulmonary function after the apnea test (AT) conducted with the classic oxygen insufflation AT (I-AT) is often observed during the brain death (BD) diagnosis procedure. In the present study, two AT methods were compared before a method is recommended for the currently revised Polish BD criteria. Methods Classic I-AT and continuous positive airway pressure AT (CPAP-AT)...
The aim of our study was to compare the reliability and safety of the classical I-AT with the continuous positive airway pressure apnea test (CPAP-AT).In the group of 48 patients (group O), an I-AT was performed at the end of BD diagnostic procedures, and approximately 1–1.5h later CPAP-AT with 100% FiO2 and CPAP of 10cm H2O, provided by ventilator in CPAP mode. After pre‑oxygenation with 100% FiO...
