Two classic signs of increased ICP: - Hypertension - Bradycardia (Cushing’s reflex) Expected signs of brain herniation: - Unequal pupils - Posturing - Irregular respirations (Cheyne stokes or Biots/Ataxic) - Rapid decline in mental status Treatment for ICP (prehospital): - Hyperventilation ONLY if signs of herniation (get EtCO2 to 35-40) - Mannitol is NOT used in EMS unless critical care - 1g/kg over 10min for edema, not blood.

Which gestational milestone is correct?

Anticholinergic agents block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) at muscarinic receptors, leading to inhibition of parasympathetic activity — essentially causing “sympathetic overdrive” symptoms. 🧾 Classic Mnemonic "Hot as a hare, Dry as a bone, Red as a beet, Blind as a bat, Mad as a hatter, and Full as a flask." Hot as a hare-Hyperthermia-Loss of sweating (anhidrosis) impairs heat dissipation Dry as a bone-Dry skin & mucous membranes-Blocked sweat and salivary glands Red as a beet-Flushed skin-Vasodilation from heat retention Blind as a bat-Mydriasis (pupil dilation) & blurred vision-Blocked ciliary muscle accommodation Mad as a hatter-Delirium, hallucinations-CNS blockade of acetylcholine Full as a flask-Urinary retention-Inhibition of bladder detrusor contraction (parasympathetic tone suppressed)

Which condition is non-progressive?

My understanding of CPAP is you never set PEEP over 10 cmH2O. Is this correct.?
