First, the 2005 guidelines recommended two clinical assessments of brain stem reflexes before an apnea test was performed, whereas these guidelines recommend one comprehensive clinical assessment prior to an apnea test. These updated guidelines make two significant modifications to the 2005 guidelines, as well as a number of smaller changes to certain clinical parameters. Revisions to the 2005 Brain Death Determination Guidelines They also draw upon a consensus-building process that included ethical, legal and clinical review by the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, as well as recommendations by an outside working group of expert physicians from across the State. They incorporate the guidelines of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), initially released in 1995 and revised in 2010.

The guidelines contained in this document, which revise and update New York's 2005 guidelines, represent a broad consensus on the criteria for determining brain death. The Department of Health hopes that the issuance of these guidelines not only will help educate health care providers regarding such determinations, but also will increase the public's confidence that such determinations are made after a thorough and careful evaluation in accordance with accepted medical standards. This document provides guidance for determining brain death, aims to increase knowledge amongst health care practitioners about the clinical evaluation of brain death, and reduces the potential for variations in brain death determination policies and practices amongst facilities and practitioners within New York State. New York State Task Force on Life and the Law November 2011 Background
A similar reflex in the toes lasts until 9 to 12 months. The grasp reflex lasts until the baby is about 5 to 6 months old. Stroking the palm of a baby's hand causes the baby to close his or her fingers in a grasp.
This reflex lasts until the baby is about 5 to 7 months old. This is often called the fencing position. When a baby's head is turned to one side, the arm on that side stretches out and the opposite arm bends up at the elbow. This reflex lasts until the baby is about 2 months old. A baby's own cry can startle him or her and trigger this reflex. In response to the sound, the baby throws back his or her head, extends out his or her arms and legs, cries, then pulls the arms and legs back in. That’s because it usually occurs when a baby is startled by a loud sound or movement. The Moro reflex is often called a startle reflex. Because babies also have a hand-to-mouth reflex that goes with rooting and sucking, they may suck on their fingers or hands. Premature babies may have a weak or immature sucking ability because of this.
This reflex doesn't start until about the 32nd week of pregnancy and is not fully developed until about 36 weeks. When the roof of the baby's mouth is touched, the baby will start to suck. Rooting helps the baby get ready to suck. This helps the baby find the breast or bottle to start feeding. The baby will turn his or her head and open his or her mouth to follow and root in the direction of the stroking. This reflex starts when the corner of the baby's mouth is stroked or touched. The following are some of the normal reflexes seen in newborn babies: Rooting reflex Healthcare providers check reflexes to determine if the brain and nervous system are working well. Some reflexes occur only in specific periods of development. Some movements are spontaneous and occur as part of the baby's normal activity. Reflexes are involuntary movements or actions. What reflexes should be present in a newborn? The tonic reflex is often called the "fencing" reflex because of the position of the hands.
