Increased Intracranial Pressure Verified Solutions SUMMARY Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the hydrostatic force measured in the brain, and increases due to changes in the brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood in the brain. Because of the lack of open space in the skull, any condition that increases the amount of blood, brain tissue, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can lead to an increase in a patient’s ICP. The nurse should note any signs of increased ICP including: altered LOC...
