Joffe et al., supra note 6 at 4-5. In the interval between the conduct of this scoping review and publication, important findings were published which bear on this debate. A large prospective international observational study of transient resumption of cardiac activity following withdrawal of life sustaining measures in the intensive unit found that 14% of patients experienced resumption of at least one cycle of cardiac activity following pulselessness. However, no incidence of resumption occurred beyond 4 minutes and 20 seconds, reassuring stakeholders that a 5 minute observation period suffices to ensure donor protection from harm.
