Abstract
Regulating rigorous judgement on brain death is the premise of organ donation for brain injury patients. During the process of judging brain death, there is abnormal movement, which should be identified. This article has reported a case of brain death patient, in which the patient was confirmed to be brain death according to Chinese brain death judgment instruction and by means of clinical judgement and three confirmation tests. But owing to the abnormal movement, there was misunderstanding between relatives and medical staff. Abnormal movement and brain death judgement are not conflict. The explanation on this should be done well, so that organ donation can be successfully implemented.
