The researchers assume that the violations have been taking place for over 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>The authors, ANU PhD researcher Matthew Robertson and Israeli cardiac transplant surgeon Jacob Lavee, analyzed 2,838 papers drawn from a dataset of 124,770 Chinese-language transplant publications. They said that the certified causes of death do not match the medical procedures listed in medical reports from 56 Chinese hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>The main criterion of brain death is a patient\u2019s inability to breathe without a ventilator, and Chinese transplant surgeons were said to declare brain death before this criterion was confirmed by intubation.<\/p>\n<p>In 71 of the BDD cases analyzed by researchers, the dead donor rule was \u201calmost certainly\u201d violated, according to the study, as the surgery \u201cprecluded a legitimate determination of brain death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the cases where a face mask was used instead of intubation \u2014 or a rapid tracheotomy was followed immediately by intubation, or where intubation took place after sternal incision as surgeons examined the beating heart \u2014 the lack of prior determination of brain death is even more apparent,\u201d according to the study.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers concluded that prisoners died from the surgeries and not from execution. Meanwhile, medical regulators in Finland allowed organ transplant surgeries on deceased donors without an official declaration of brain death, declaring legal donation after circulatory arrest. In some cases, donors with serious brain injuries no longer have a chance to recover, but brain death does not occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
