Hay otras áreas importantes de posible conflicto que no es
posible abordar en los límites de este texto, aunque se recomienda
a los lectores que se formen en lo siguiente:
• Los problemas que rodean a la donación de órganos de
donante con muerte cerebral y de donante con corazón que
no late.
• La retirada de la asistencia del paciente no competente y sin
familia.
• Los reglamentos hospitalarios y la legislación estatal sobre la
certificación de muerte, ya sea por criterios neurológicos o
cardiovasculares.
Resumen
Los cuidados neurocríticos exigen un conocimiento exhaustivo de
la fisiología, la farmacología y la patología del sistema nervioso, así
como de los órganos que le dan soporte. La mejor asistencia se
presta en circunstancias que permiten una colaboración multidis-
ciplinar y una atención adecuada al detalle de procesos patológicos
con frecuencia complejos y difíciles, aunque con la integración
óptima de los mismos bajo la dirección de un médico de cuidados
críticos.
