IMAPing SUBDEP Survey

Prof. Tuğhan Utku, M.D.
President
Turkish Society of Intensive Care

Dear Professor Tuğhan Utku,

I'm writing to ask for help in the administration of an international survey on the topic of apnea testing. As the Head of the Turkish Society of Intensive Care, we hope you'll be able to help us with this.

With one of my Hungarian scientific mates, Péter Bakos I have just launched an English-language international survey called IMAPing SUBDEP.

The primary objective of the survey is to get insight into the present practice of apnea testing for patients with suspected brain death. However, the apnea test is part of nearly all protocols, implementation significantly differs among intensive care physicians. Results will provide a current state of the practice, which can support the determination of future acts to standardize the apnoea test process.

Please fill out the survey which takes only 6 minutes and qualify it. If the survey meets your standards, we would be glad if you could support the administration in sending the survey to all registered members of your society and your colleagues in your department. We are looking forward to hearing about your positive answer.

Kind regards,
András Lovas
