[2025-10-01T04:44:16.458862] [PI reasoning] **Understanding brain death signs**

For a quick answer, key signs of brain death include the absence of brainstem reflexes, no spontaneous breathing, and the patient being in a coma. However, spinal reflexes might still be present, sometimes resulting in sweating and tachycardia. Normal blood pressure can occur without support, but decorticate or decerebrate posturing indicates brainstem function. Therefore, it can't be a sign of brain death. We can reference literature for concise reasoning and citations. Let's put that together!
