Dictionary of Manipuri Medical Terms (Manipuri-English)

নোঙ্গাবা
(Nonggaba): Death = the state of the absence of vital functions. Death is diagnosed by a permanent cessation of the heartbeat. Brain death = It is defined as the permanent functional death of the centres in the brainstem that control breathing, heart rate and other vital reflexes (including pupillary responses).Usually two independent medical opinions are required before braindeath is agreed but the organs such as kidneys may then legally be removed for transplantation surgery before the heart has stopped.
