Write answer in between .Q:A 66-year-old man is brought to the emergency department 20 minutes after being involved in a high-speed motor vehicle collision in which he was the unrestrained passenger. His wife confirms that he has hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and chronic lower back pain. Current medications include metoprolol, warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, and oxycodone. On arrival, he is lethargic and confused. His pulse is 112min, respirations are 10min, and blood pressure is 17278 mm Hg. The eyes open spontaneously. The pupils are equal and sluggish. He moves his extremities in response to commands. There is a 3-cm scalp laceration. There are multiple bruises over the right upper extremity. Cardiopulmonary examination shows no abnormalities. The abdomen is soft and nontender. Neurologic examination shows no focal findings. Two large-bore peripheral intravenous catheters are inserted. A 0.9 saline infusion is begun. A focused assessment with sonography in trauma is negative. Plain CT of the brain shows a 5-mm right subdural hematoma with no mass effect. Fresh frozen plasma is administered. Which of the following is most likely to reduce this patients cerebral blood flow?? A: Hyperventilation, B: Decompressive craniectomy, C: Lumbar puncture, D: Intravenous hypertonic saline, E: Intravenous mannitol,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette about a 66-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle collision who is found to have a small subdural hematoma on CT scan of the brain. The question asks which of the listed interventions is most likely to reduce cerebral blood flow in this patient. A subdural hematoma can cause increased intracranial pressure which can reduce cerebral perfusion. The goal in this patient would be to reduce intracranial pressure to improve cerebral blood flow. Of the options listed, hyperventilation, lumbar puncture, and intravenous mannitol can all decrease intracranial pressure and are reasonable choices. Decompressive craniectomy surgically removes part of the skull to allow the brain to swell without increased pressure. Hypertonic saline draws fluid from the brain parenchyma via osmosis which can decrease swelling and pressure. However, hypertonic saline also causes intravascular volume expansion which could potentially increase intracranial pressure, so it is less ideal.A: Hyperventilation
