Since then, China has the standard for the determination of brain death. In order to further promote the brain death related work, Brain Injury Evaluation Quality Control Center of National Health Commission (BQCC) aimed to revise and update "Criteria and practical guidance for determination of brain death in adults". This 2018 new edition was based on the 5-year clinical practice of brain death determination, BQCC quality control analysis of brain death cases, and the opinions and suggestions of BQCC expert committees, technical committees and advisory committees.
