The head of the bed should be raised by 30 degrees, the neck should remain neutral, the body should maintain a normal temperature, and volume overload should be avoided.

What is intracranial pressure?

The pressure that fluids like cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exert inside the skull and on the brain tissue is known as intracranial pressure, or ICP. ICP is measured in mm of mercury (mmHg), and for an adult lying supine, it typically ranges between 7 to 15 mmHg at rest.

Securing the airway, ensuring adequate oxygenation and ventilation, and giving circulatory support as required should all be done right away if a patient is thought to have elevated ICP. The <u>head of the bed should be raised by 30 degrees, the neck should remain neutral, the body should maintain a normal temperature, and volume overload should be avoided. </u>Before being sent for radiology for brain imaging, the patient must be stabilized. The most effective test for verifying the diagnosis of elevated ICP and identifying its etiology is a computed tomography (CT) scan. To direct medical and nursing interventions, invasive ICP monitoring is frequently needed.

So i do online school and im only in 7th grade....im looking forward to graduating middle and highschool...but when i do graduat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

I believe if you graduate middle school you will most likely get an email because you only graduate middle school. But I believe it's a little bit different for high school. So you can get an email but they should give you a robe and every thing and invite you to a graduated related location. If not then you are most likely to receive your diplomas or what ever in the mail.
