Abstract

Title:

New Consensus of Brain Death Diagnosis: The New Frontier for Brain Death Organ Donor Optimization

Body:

This lecture will present the latest updates on Malaysia's Brain Death Consensus, replacing the outdated 2003 guidelines. The revised consensus aligns with current international guidelines and recommendations to enhance accuracy and standardization in brain death determination. Key areas of discussion will include updates on assessor qualifications, ancillary testing, and the revised flowchart and checklist form. These advancements aim to optimize the identification and management of brain-dead organ donors, ultimately improving organ donation outcomes.
