hello But, the Q-stem states the anesthesiologist is HYPOventilating the patient. +4

drdoom decreasing respiratory rate = retention of CO2 = vasodilation of brain arteries = more filling of tubes = greater intra-cranial pressure +1

drdoom @hello shoot, you're right! i ended my explanation with the example of HYPERventilation when i should have done the opposite! (sorry!) ... edit: "By HYPOventilating (retaining CO2), the brain vasculature senses a high CO2 environment and vasodilates = increases intra-cranial filling and pressure!" +3

dulxy071 @drdoom could you please elaborate on your point. +

cienfuegos Obviously not the BEST option in this scenario, but seems like it could work unless I'm missing something. +1

step1soon Its primariy driven by PCO2! only when O2 levels drop <50 mmhg is when the body responds to low O2 pressures +1
