This instructional video was very helpful for me. I now have a far better understanding of what's going on with ICP/Cushing's Triad and why....thank you.

Incredible video. Unfortunately, the volume was pretty low.. This will remain in all of my permanent training videos. Excellent resource.

I am 60- was just put on Hyzaar 100 mg and a statin, though I do not have high cholesterol. I have bad sleep apnea and am waiting on a mask. This am my BP was like 160/95 and my pulse around 60. When my BP goes up, my pulse goes down. I wonder if I have this or if the sleep apnea is affecting my BP? Thank you!

How long after injury might you see this? Minutes? Hours? I understand there are probably many variables, however might one see this pre hospital (EMS)?

Can you explain how this causes widened pulse pressure?

Can anyone answer me a question " It is given in guyton and hall international edition 13 page 223 'when the cerebrospinal fluid pressure rises to equal the arterial pressure, it compresses the whole brain, as well as the arteries in the brain, and cuts off the blood supply to the brain' here if cerebrospinal fluid becomes equal to the arterial pressure how can it compress the arteries
