Diagnosis of brain death usually requires the absence of spontaneous respiratory movements during the apnoea test and an arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure above 60 mmHg. On the other hand, although capnography (end-tidal CO(2)) is currently monitored in intensive care unit patients, it has not been evaluated during the apnoea test in brain-dead patients. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was first to investigate the usefulness of capnography monitoring, and secondly to evaluate the variation of the carbon dioxide partial pressure-end-tidal CO(2) gradient during the apnoea test in clinically brain-dead patients.
