Q. Which among the following is not included in Cushing’s triad?
Solution:
Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates. Extreme temperature elevation then becomes a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment to prevent disability or death.

-
Hypertension (progressively increasing systolic blood pressure)
