published studies of patients meeting the criteria for brainstem death or whole brain death – the american standard which includes brainstem death diagnosed by similar means – record that even if ventilation is continued after diagnosis, the heart stops beating within only a few hours or days. however, there have been some very long-term survivals and it is noteworthy that expert management can maintain the bodily functions of pregnant brain dead women for long enough to bring them to term.
