  2. Intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_pressure

    Intracranial hypertension (IH), also called increased ICP (IICP) or raised intracranial pressure (RICP), refers to elevated pressure in the cranium. 20–25 mmHg is the upper limit of normal at which treatment is necessary, though it is common to use 15 mmHg as the threshold for beginning treatment.

  3. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_intracranial...

    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), previously known as pseudotumor cerebri and benign intracranial hypertension, is a condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure (pressure around the brain) without a detectable cause. [2] The main symptoms are headache, vision problems, ringing in the ears, and shoulder pain.

  4. Cerebral edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_edema

    The treatment of cerebral edema depends on the cause and includes monitoring of the person's airway and intracranial pressure, proper positioning, controlled hyperventilation, medications, fluid management, steroids. [3] [7] [8] Extensive cerebral edema can also be treated surgically with a decompressive craniectomy. [7]

  5. Acetazolamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetazolamide

    It is used in the treatment of glaucoma, drug-induced edema, heart failure-induced edema, epilepsy and in reducing intraocular pressure after surgery. [9] [10] It has also been used in the treatment of altitude sickness, [11] Ménière's disease, increased intracranial pressure and neuromuscular disorders. [12]

  6. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase_inhibitor

    Acetazolamide is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase.It is used for glaucoma, epilepsy (rarely), idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and altitude sickness. For the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP), acetazolamide inactivates carbonic anhydrase and interferes with the sodium pump, which decreases aqueous humor formation and thus lowers IOP.

  7. Cranial venous outflow obstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_venous_outflow...

    Management of cranial venous outflow obstruction involves treating the underlying cause, if identifiable, and managing the symptoms. This can include medication to reduce intracranial pressure, anticoagulation therapy to prevent thrombosis, and in some cases, surgical intervention to restore normal venous drainage. [6] [11]

    Medications that are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, heart conditions, allergies, and mental health disorders, among others, may put you at risk for being sensitive to high temperatures.

  9. Rapid sequence induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sequence_induction

    Intubation causes increased sympathetic activity, an increase in intracranial pressure and bronchospasm. Patients with reactive airway disease, increased intracranial pressure, or cardiovascular disease may benefit from pretreatment. Two common medications used in the pretreatment of RSI include Lidocaine and Atropine.
