brainwave charts are flat
So, despite the fact the brainwave charts are flat, she stays by his side, day after day, holding his hand, talking to him, and insisting to those who tell her otherwise that she knows he’ll make it—he always has.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
las gráficas de las ondas cerebrales están planas / indicadores de muerte cerebral: línea plana
La traducción literal podría funcionar en ambos casos, pero me inclinaría por una opción conceptual, si se refiere a que "la relación entre ambos estaba ya muerta"... (o "más muerta que Carracuca", si nos ponemos sarcásticos...)
Saudos cordiales.

falta de respuesta mental
Mi nivel de confianza es bajo, porque no sé si se trata de una persona en coma o de una metáfora.

todo indica que no tiene actividad cerebral // los registros señalan ausencia de actividad cerebral

: Al ser el texto tan preciso ("brainwave charts"), está claro que no es una metáfora.

Siempre es necesario confirmar por contexto, pero sí, en este caso no tengo dudas, también por lo que sigue; le coge la mano, le habla y les dice a quienes afirman lo contrario que saldrá de esta. Gracias, abe.
