Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) was just discussed in our last podcast on head injuries.  However, we briefly mentioned how there is a certain amount of controversy on this subject.  This separate podcast is to act as a supplement to the Chapter 6 ATLS podcast on head trauma that was just covered.  We find this particularly important given how long our ATLS podcasts run in general.
