Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) The pressure inside the skull, and thus in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid.
As artificial hyperventilation is advocated in the treatment of raised intracranial pressure, it must be questioned where to set the limit beyond which hypocapnically induced cerebral tissue hypoxia may occur.
