Q. Which among the following is not included in Cushing’s triad?

A
Hyperthermia
B
Bradycardia
C
Bradypnea
D
Widened pulse pressure
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.

Cushing’s triad (not to be confused with the Cushing reflex) is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is the triad of:

  1. Hypertension (progressively increasing systolic blood pressure)

  2. Bradycardia

  3. Irregular breathing
