Great as always. Maybe also good to mention about retro and post traumatic amnesia and about posterior cervical contusion for the future videos. Thank you !!
Thank you so much for this, I used it a few years ago in medical school and I'm here again studying for my exams. Always amazing and valuable content, I really appreciate your efforts!
Tachypnea can actually reduces the intracranial pressure by driving out CO2 , improve cerebral circulation. On the ventilator the patient is often hyperventilated for this benefit. But excess of hyperventilation can cause vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels and cerebral tissue ischemia.
I'm confused about "Cushing reflex".. you mentioned - tachypnea - as the 3rd component, however, "The general Surgery book by Lawrence" opened next to me and it says "decreased respiratory rate" .. which one is correct BTW, great video & series
Cheyne-Stroke breathing is what happens. Increased pressure leads to compression that causes dysfunction of the respiratory centers in the brainstem, which leads to irregular breathing patterns. A lot of places do say reduced breathing, but I think it is more accurate to describe it as a crescendo-decrescendo breathing pattern seen in patients with central sleep apnea.
History unimportant so hand it over to the nurses. Someday he will hand over neurosurgical procedures also to them. If he is busy shopping or on an outing or out of station.
