Abstract
Diffuse necrosis and autolysis were found in the brains from 6 comatose, respirator‐supported patients in whom the bolus technique demonstrated no cerebral blood flow during a period exceeding 20 hours prior to cardiac death. When blood flow was insufficient to produce a bolus, there was no evidence of active tissue response to necrosis. In 6 similar patients when cerebral blood flow was detected by the bolus technique, less extensive necrosis was observed postmortem and there was active tissue response.Keywords
