Abstract:
The year of 2019 is memorable,because it ushers in the seventieth anniversary of the founding of China.We have witnessed tremendous changes in our motherland and also a rising China.On this occasion,from the perspective of a pediatrician,I reviewed the Chinese standards for childhood brain death that I have participated in the manuscript preparation,compared the differences of the guidelines at home and abroad,and looked forward to the future development.The criteria for determining child brain death in China have gradually developed,and are generally more prudent and strict compared with foreign standards.There are differences in applicable populations,auxiliary examination requirements,intervals between two repeated judgments and the qualification requirements for doctors.Through this review,the author discusses the differences,advantages and disadvantages between domestic and foreign guidelines,and looks forward to the future development.
