Management of Movement
Problems:
Use short acting agents
Decrease Intracranial Pressure:
Do opiods increase CBF and ICP as well as lower MAP and CPP?
Increased ICP with concurrent decreased MAP and CPP has been documented with use of opiods. But, elevation in ICP is transient and there is no resulting ischemia from decreased MAP / CPP.
