Establishing when cerebral cortical activity stops relative to circulatory arrest during the dying process will enhance trust in donation after circulatory determination of death. We used continuous electroencephalography and arterial blood pressure monitoring prior to withdrawal of life sustaining measures and for 30 min following circulatory arrest to explore the temporal relationship between cessation of cerebral cortical activity and circulatory arrest.
