Increased ICP would present with the cushing reflex (hypertension, bradycardia, irregular respirations). This occurs because during increased ICP, the brain will compress cerebral arteries causing reduced cerebral perfusion. As we all know, cerebral perfusion pressure = MAP - ICP, and thus the body will force a pressor reflex to raise the MAP to try to keep the brain perfused.

Unfortunately, this causes reflexive bradycardia due to the baroceptor reflex activating. The irregular respirations are because the brainstem is compressed.

Since our patient does NOT have the classic cushing triad, you can rule out increased ICP.

From https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D004211:

Disseminated intravascular coagulation. A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
