Ok, I didn’t understand much of this but laughed at the last one. Quite funny friend.

Serious head trauma is a good indicator of a potential brain bleed in my non professional experience

Redditors need to take an American Red Cross course to get certified for CPR and remember the ABCS:

  • Airway
  • Breathing
  • Check Pulse
  • Shoes still on?

Shoes off either means dead or intentionally sleeping, right? Shoes on means you make a crude phallic drawing in sharpie on their head?

This should increase preventative brain surgery cases.

Just remove the brain as a precaution. Can't get a brain injury if you don't have a brain, right?

High blood pressure increases pressure in brain. Avm or arteriovenous malformations are sites where arteries join veins abnormally and are “weak points”. Icp is Intracranial pressure which can be caused by things like tumors but increased Icp means Bp needs to increase to perfuse the brain still.

The problem with using icp to predict things is that it's an invasive procedure. So, the patients who have them will have already had a bleed/ traumatic injury etc and we already use it to monitor for the need for more invasive procedures such as a craniotomy. And, if they have a cranie and still have an evd in place it's not going to be completely accurate.

So, if you're already monitoring the patient in the ICU its helpful, but this isn't going to help the average patient pre hospitalization.
