Your child is in intensive care and on a ventilator will she know what is going on?
well i was inintensive care and on a ventilator not that long ago. my parents and family were by my bedside most of them time i was sedated as i was fighting against the ventilator 'breathing out when the ventilator was breathing in' i could still hear my family talking and the doctors saying what they were doing to me which upset me as they were giving my injections and i couldn't respond as i had the breathing tube in my mouth and i was heavily sedated which paralysed my muscles so i couldn't move. after a few days i got weaned off the ventilator but found it hard to breathe so i got put back on it and i finally got taken off it on the next day but i still had to be on it at night.It wasn't that bad but it did upset me when i couldn't respond to my actions.

What happens when your oxygen saturation drop when you are on and off the ventilator?

Once breathing has stoped and the heart has stoped beating brain death starts in how many minutes?
Brain death can't be determined if the heart has already stopped, this would be considered cardiac death. Brain death is determined when someone is on a ventilator (not breathing on their own due to injury or illness) and an EEG or other procedure has been completed and shows no signs of brain activity. The body will continue to "live" with the help of the ventilator oxygenating the organs, but when taken off the ventilator then the body has no impulse to breathe for itself due to the brain being dead.
