i need to do a study to determine the sequence and time difference between the loss of various brain stem reflexes in patients having irreversible brain injury who are deteriorating and eventually become brain dead. I cannot find any references for this study.
May I advised to contact Henk Eilander and Jan Lavrijssen both on research gate , This are to expert that have knowlegde about the extreme brain damage . My experience is by patient after an stroke, brain damage and de disease of Alzheimer and by al three there is an stage of extreme tone increase in an fetale attitude, but that attitude is changeble by good and firm support especially through an firm bed, placing of the bed against the waal with the best side and an pressure under the foot that stimulated an pushing away movement, This : orthesis" cannot of course all day that will exhaused the patient.
Afeter this high pressure and still increasing brain damage will the tone decrease and is there an loss of the brain with the muscle s of the body and the perception of were the body is and stability.
