Variability of Brain Death Determination Guidelines in Leading US Neurologic Institutions
Neurol 70:284-289,252, Greer,D.M.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Major differences exist in brain death guidelines among the leading neurologic hospitals in the United States. Adherence to the American Academy of Neurology guidelines is variable. If the guidelines reflect actual practice at each institution, there are substantial differences in practice which may have consequences for the determination of death and initiation of transplant procedures.
