Brain death is the complete and irreversible loss of brain function (including involuntary activity necessary to sustain life).
A patient is brain dead when all brain and brain stem functions cease and they cannot breath on their own. Once the patient is declared brain dead, the person is legally dead. A brain dead person can be maintained on a breathing machine that provides oxygen to their heart and other organs. Despite declaration of death, the organs can be kept healthy for organ donation by providing them blood supply and oxygen. All donors in New York and the U.S. are either brain dead or dead by cessation of a heart beat before they are eligible to donate organs.
