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

### 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.
