ABSTRACT

Intracranial blood flow was evaluated in ten comatose patients by monitoring cephalic passage of a radioactive bolus following intravenous injection. A deficit in cerebral circulation, which could be demonstrated at the bedside with relatively simple apparatus, together with absent cerebral electrical activity shown by electroencephalogram, may indicate cerebral death.
