Monro-Kellie 2.0: The dynamic vascular and venous pathophysiological components of intracranial pressure [PDF]
For 200 years, the ‘closed box’ analogy of intracranial pressure (ICP) has underpinned neurosurgery and neuro-critical care. Cushing conceptualised the Monro-Kellie doctrine stating that a change in blood, brain or CSF volume resulted in reciprocal ...

Fluid Management in Intra-abdominal Hypertension
AbstractIntra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) have significant pathophysiological consequences that can affect multiple organ systems. Fluid resuscitation is often used to restore hemodynamic stability in patients with elevated IAP; however, excessive intravenous fluid administration can paradoxically lead to ACS ...
