| Core Tip |
Families facing the growing demand for organ removal from their loved ones are questioning the possible suffering of the brainstem dead patient. A frequent question they ask to coordinating doctors is: are you sure he will not feel anything? Currently due to the risk of exacerbation of spinal reflexes and abnormal movements following surgical stimuli, it is recommended to use a curarization and an analgesic agent (most often morphine). The doses of opioids are less important than during usual anaesthesia, whereas the person is considered brainstem dead and there is no longer any cerebral integration of the pain. But what assures us that absolutely no more sensibility exists at this precise moment? We propose that further neuroscientific analyses be conducted in order to improve our knowledge about such a sensibility. We ask to the medical community if we should rather use full analgesic dose of opioids, and question if this would make the levies more "ethical"? |
