The effects on the 3 components (respiration, blood pressure and heart rate) of the Cushing response (CR) were studied in cats by the continuous expansion of a supratentorial balloon. The expansion rate varied over the range of 0.006-0.6 ml/min, during which systemic arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood gases were monitored. For the different rates, both the time that the CR took to develop and the balloon volume required for that development were measured. The final volume (critical volume) for eliciting the CR was more or less constant over the full range of infusion rates (balloon expansion), a fact that supports the Monro-Kellie doctrine. This constancy of critical volume (CCV) gives rise to a highly statistically significant relationship between the infusion rate and the latency to the production of the CR. It is described by a power curve. Thus the development of cerebral dysfunction under these experimental conditions is independent of the expansion rate and only dependent upon this critical volume. Exceptions to this concept of a critical volume, at the extreme of expansion rates of lesions in patients, are predicted.
