Shimizu N, Shemie S, Miyasaka E, et al. Preliminary report: Use of clinical criteria for the determination of pediatric brain death and confirmation by radionuclide cerebral blood flow.

If your cerebral blood flow is dropping and your CO2 is also dropping at the same time, your brain faces a conflict: dilate to keep blood flowing, or constrict in response to low CO2? It can't do both. …
