Cushing reflex
Cushing reflex (also referred to as the vasopressor response, the Cushing effect, the Cushing reaction, the Cushing phenomenon, the Cushing response, or Cushing's Law) is a physiological nervous system response to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) that results in Cushing's triad of increased blood pressure, irregular breathing, and a reduction of the heart rate. It is usually seen in the terminal stages of acute head injury and may indicate imminent brain herniation. It can also be seen after the intravenous administration of epinephrine and similar drugs. It was first described in detail by American neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing in 1901.
== Definition ==
The Cushing reflex classically presents as an increase in systolic and pulse pressure, reduction of the heart rate (bradycardia), and irregular respiration.〔 It is caused by increased pressure inside the skull.〔 These symptoms can be indicative of insufficient blood flow to the brain (ischemia) as well as compression of arterioles.〔
In response to rising intracranial pressure (ICP), respiratory rate increases. The increase in ventilation is exhibited as an increase in rate rather than depth of ventilation, so the Cushing reflex is often associated with slow, irregular breathing.〔 As a result of the now defective regulation of heart rate and blood pressure, the physiologic response is decreased blood flow peripherally which can present as Mayer waves. These are simply pathologic waves seen in HR tracings (i.e. arterial lines, electrocardiograph (ECG, etc) which reflect decreased intravascular blood flow. This decreased flow often results in a reflexive HTN (increase in blood pressure) despite the actual decrease in intravascular volume.〔
