Abstract:
This article elaborates on the transformation in the cognitive concepts and determination techniques of death determination (including brain death determination) in China, namely: not only should there be the concept of cardiac death but also that of brain death; not only should the determination technique of cardiac death be mastered but also that of brain death. This transformation of concepts and techniques fills the gap in clinical medicine in China, keeps pace with the development of international science and technology, and achieves the social benefits of rational application of medical resources and organ donation.
