Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoxia, mechanical ventilation, and airway suctioning can all increase intracranial pressure in the near drowning victim. Hypoxia can lead to cerebral hypoxia and increase intracranial pressure. Mechanical ventilation can cause increased intrathoracic pressure and therefore increase intracranial pressure. Airway suctioning can also cause an increase in intracranial pressure due to the suctioning process itself.
