<prompt> Cushing reflex, there isIncreased BP and Increased hea rateIncreased BP and Decreased hea rateDecreased BP and Decreased hea rateDecreased BP and Increased hea rate  <response>: Cushing reflex tends to restore the blood flow to the medulla. Over a considerable range, the blood pressure rise is propoional to the increase in intracranial pressure. The rise in blood pressure causes a reflex decrease in hea rate the aerial baroreceptors. This is why bradycardia rather than tachycardia is characteristically seen in patients with increased intracranial pressure. Ref: Ganong;s Review of medical physiology 25th edition. Page: 593
