Why does a brain injury patient become dangerously hypertensive instead of hypotensive? In this episode of Ten Minute Medic, you'll finally understand the physiology behind intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and Cushing's Triad using analogies, real-world paramedic scenarios, and a healthy dose of humor.

If you've ever memorized the formulas but struggled to apply them on an exam or at the bedside, this episode will make the concepts stick. This one lesson you'll remember long after the exam is over.
