          1. REM sleep, a stage of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements, a high level of brain activity, a deep relaxation of the muscles and dreaming

                      1. Severe (3-8)

                      2. Cushing Reflex
                        1. occurs in response to increase in the intracranial pressure.
                          1. It is a triad of hypertension, bradycardia, and irregular breathing (Apnea)
                            1. indicates that brain herniation and death is imminent, so it is an emergency situation
                        2. Managements
                          1. Pharmacology

                              1. Check the ABC’s. if necessary, begin rescue breathing and CPR
                                1. Stop any bleeding by firmly pressing a clean cloth on the wound. If blood soaks the cloth, place another cloth over it (don’t remove).
                                  1. adequate airway, breathing and circulation during the initial period of resuscitation and evaluation
                                    1. maintenance of balance between CDO2  (cerebral oxygen delivery ) and CMRO2 (cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen=cerebral oxygen consumption
                              2. Surgery
                                1. INDICATIONS A sudden (acute) subdural hematoma An ongoing (chronic) subdural hematoma Certain kinds of brain cancer Buildup of pus around the meninges  Hydrocephalus
                                  1. Complications Bleeding Infection Blood clots Brain injury Another surgery required
                            2. Complications
                              1. Contusion
                                1. -Localized injury
                                  1. -Macroscopic

                                  2. Contusion: Seizures Increased ICP Cerebral herniation Loss of memory Infections—if followed by a skull fracture
                                  3. Concussion
                                    1. -Widespread injury
                                      1. -Microscopic
