Abstract
The role of transcranial Doppler sonography in diagnosis of brain death (a practical review). The authors summarize the most important technical and practical knowledge regarding transcranial Doppler sonography. The characteristic Doppler signs of the cessation of cerebral blood flow are demonstrated, such as: oscillating flow, systolic spikes and zero-flow. The relatively high sensitivity (93.3%) of the repeated transcranial Doppler measurements in brain death diagnosis is highlighted.
