“…At the completion of the procedure, the adequacy of the test was verified by taking arterial blood samples for pH, PO* and PCOS. An EEG was then performed using maximal amplification (2 pv/mm) at maximal intraelectrode distances; the EEG recording was run for at least 30 minutes according to previously described criteria [13,29,301. If the EEG was isoelectric-i.e., demonstrated electrocerebral silence (ECS)-or was isoelectric with artifacts, the patient was entered into the next phase of the scudy.…”

“…EEG can give false positive and false negative findings. Studies have shown that the isoelectric line on EEG heads to the erroneous diagnosis of brain death (with the comatose or vegetative patients after prolonged cardiac arrest, in sedation, hypothermia and metabolic disorders), and conversely, the preserved electrocortical activity in EEG gave false hope that the person is alive, according to clinical criteria of the dead brain stem 10,13,14,29,30 (Figures 1 and 2 15 ).…”

“…O comitê propôs a eliminação de termos não fisiológicos como "isoelétrico" ou "linear" e, da mesma forma, recomendou que palavras como "plano" ou "chato" não fossem usadas. Foi sugerido o nome silêncio elétrico cerebral (SEC) [1][2][3] . Subsequentemente, inatividade elétrica cerebral foi o termo recomendado no glossário da Federação Internacional das Sociedades de EEG e Neurofisiologia Clínica.…”
