Questions and Answers

What does the Monroe Kelly doctrine state?

  • ICP is independent of changes in brain, CSF, or blood volume.
  • An increase in brain volume results in a decrease in ICP.
  • When the volume of the brain, CSF, or blood increases, ICP will increase as well. (correct)
  • If the volume of the brain, CSF, or blood decreases, ICP will increase.

    • How is Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) calculated?

  • ICP + MAP
  • ICP - MAP
  • MAP + ICP
  • MAP - ICP (correct)

    • What are clinical manifestations of increased ICP?

  • Increased appetite and weight gain
  • Decreased Glasgow Coma Scale, headaches, vomiting, papilledema, Cushing reflex (correct)
  • Decreased blood pressure and slow heart rate
  • High fever and chills

    Study Notes

    • Inter-cranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure outside the brain, typically sitting within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), normally ranging from 7 to 15 mmHg.
    • The Monroe Kelly doctrine states that if the volume of the brain, CSF, or blood increases, ICP will increase as well.
    • The brain volume is around 1300 ml, CSF volume is about 130 ml, and blood volume is also about 130 ml.
    • Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is crucial for brain function and is calculated as Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) minus ICP.
    • Normal MAP range is around 60-80 mmHg, and normal ICP range is 7-15 mmHg.
    • Increased ICP can lead to clinical manifestations like decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), headaches, vomiting, papilledema (swelling of optic disk), and Cushing reflex (triad of high BP, low heart rate, irregular breathing).
    • Causes of increased ICP include brain tumors, abscesses, edema, bleeding, increased CSF production, CSF blockages, heart failure, and high carbon dioxide levels.
    • Clinical signs of increased ICP include GCS drop, morning headaches due to meningeal stretching, vomiting from vagus nerve irritation, papilledema from venous drainage issues, and the Cushing reflex as a compensatory mechanism for decreased perfusion.
