Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.
Pressure Ulcer: An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the SKIN and TISSUES when one stays in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ISCHEMIA) under sustained and constant pressure.

| " According to criteria established in the United Kingdom and the United States, if these patients meet the preconditions of apneic coma that is attributable to diagnosed irreversible cause, and the presence of drug intoxication, hypothermia, or metabolic coma is excluded, then documentation of absent brainstem reflexes and apnea despite a PaCO2 of 50 mm Hg or greater will confirm the presence of brain death." | 4.77 | Brain death and persistent vegetative states.
