Abstract
When brainstem death was formally defined by the Conference of Medical Royal Colleges and their Faculties in the UK in 1976, a concept, as well as a description of a pathological process, was introduced into medical practice. This article describes core anatomy, pathophysiology of brain injury, the process of testing within the current guidelines and briefly explores the ethical and legal issues inherent in the concept.
