Study Notes
Cushing's Triad
- Indicates increased intracranial pressure (ICP)
- Late sign of ICP, meaning it's a serious situation
- Symptoms:
- Decreased heart rate (HR)
- Decreased respiratory rate (RR)
- Increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) with widened pulse pressure
###Â Charcot's Triad
- Suggests Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Symptoms:
- Scanning speech (difficulty speaking, words sound choppy)
- Intention tremor (shaking when trying to move)
- Nystagmus (rapid eye movement back and forth)
Beck's Triad
- Indicates Cardiac Tamponade (fluid build-up around the heart)
- Symptoms:
- Jugular venous distention (JVD, bulging neck veins)
- Muffled heart sounds
- Decreased blood pressure (BP) with narrowed pulse pressure
Virchow's Triad
- Suggests Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Factors contributing to DVT:
- Venous stasis (blood pooling in veins)
- Hypercoagulability (increased blood clotting tendency)
- Endothelial damage (damage to the lining of blood vessels)

Description
Test your knowledge on important medical triads, including Cushing's, Charcot's, Beck's, and Virchow's. These clinical indicators are crucial for diagnosing serious conditions related to increased intracranial pressure, multiple sclerosis, cardiac tamponade, and deep vein thrombosis. Understand their symptoms and implications in patient care.
