Cushing reflex (Cushing triad) is a triad of hypertension, bradycardia as well as irregular breathing.
When you see Cushing reflex, it means that the intracranial pressure is high and that brain herniation is imminent (which can lead to death, of course).

@@WizKidNas In general, X-rays shows bones well, but aren’t very good at finding soft tissue problems. Specifically, for this patient: elevated BP + bradycardia in a patient with a positional headache...Medicosis is telling us that there is Cushing Signs in the setting of what could be a brain bleed (or something sloshing around in his head). That’s bad. And likely a brain problem, not a skull problem. CT better for soft tissue (and actually fantastic at picking up acute bleeds)

This is fantastic. Could you talk a little about the timeline of this process? For example I’m guessing stomach ulcers take time to form so can a person have Cushing signs but still be alert and orientated? For example , the question at the end has a person experiencing a Cushing a triad but a gcs 15 and has been suffering this for 3 weeks . I’m a uk paramedic and we tend to associate these symptoms only with acute onset and greatly reduced gcs patients. Thank you

Awesome video, and you have a good sense of humor. My 36 year-old son has been diagnosed with first mold toxicity, but his lowered immune system let a diagnosis of Lyme, Babesia, and anaplasmosis. Then, he got Covid after Christmas in Jan. 2022, and his head pressure went through the roof. He’s still in horrible pain, and it’s 8 months later. He’s seeing 4 different types of specialist doctors, and is being treated for these infections, but no one can figure out what, exactly is causing this excruciating pain. He sleeps with ice packs, has lost a lot weight, and barely gets up. He does have forward head posture, and I’m not sure if that’s keeping the pressure in his brain, but he complains all day long when he doesn’t sleep. He also has horrible nightmares, hallucinations (cut back his meds), delusions, paranoia, depression, anxiety, and I’m going nuts, as his mother! He’s had meningitis at age 7, several severe TBIs, and now this. I was told it was either the mold or the Babesia, but I also think, by his neck placement, it could be cervical instability. He won’t go back to the upper cervical chiropractor I was taking him to, although his neck felt better, but maybe I should try it again. He’s going for neurofeedback and hypnosis, but I’m not sure these will work if there’s a physical problem. Can ANYONE tell me what this could be? He’s ready to jump off a bridge and can’t stay by himself for more than an hour. He’s scared to death! I am too!

Can Anyone explain how the widening pulse pressure makes sense with bradycardia and HTN? Is it because the vessels are so squeezed that it depletes the vessels of fluid during diastole? I'm just a little confused.
Pressure on respiratory centrum - > irregular breathing, but how exactly does it work? What is the mechanism?
I have Brachycardia of 49 BPM and pre-hypertension and history of traumatic brain injury with suspected CTE
What do u mean" HTN will press on your respiratory center"? The pressure is exerted on the blood vessels from the inside. Or do blood vessels just next tho the resp center expand due to HTN and craete mass effect?

@MedicosisPerfectionalis

Great question, intracranial hypertension can be associated with hyperpnea, hypopnea or apnea. It doesn’t matter, but it’s usually hypopnea (up to the point of apnea)...As regarding cheyene-stokes breathing, yes, it can happen in cases of intracranial hypertension, and don’t forget that cheyene stokes contains apnea (it’s hyperpnea with deep breathing followed by apnea)...Hope it helps!
@edwardherrera846
5 жыл бұрын
In later stages of cushion's triad the respirations become "irregular". Tachypnea, hypopnea, are regular (just outside the norm of respiratory rate). You might see periods of normal respirations followed by apnea or tachypnea/hypopnea. Or you might see an actual pattern like cheyene stokes which is a pattern of irregular respirations.
