The patient is experiencing an increase in intracranial pressure.This increase results in:
A) Brain tissue hypoxia
B) Intracranial hypotension
C) Ventricular swelling
D) Expansion of the cranial vault

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain tissue hypoxia occurs as a result of increased intracranial pressure as it places pressure on the brain.
Increased intracranial pressure leads to intracranial hypertension.
Ventricular swelling may lead to increased intracranial pressure,but increased pressure does not lead to ventricular swelling.
Expansion of the cranial vault may lead to increased intracranial pressure,but increased pressure does not lead to expansion of the vault.
