anatomy, the cranial nerves, GCS and the assessment framework that every other page here
leans on instead of redrawing.NG-245 Guillain-Barré (peripheral, ascending from the legs) vs
NG-251 Myasthenia Gravis (descending from the eyes, worse with activity)NG-244 delirium (acute, fluctuating, reversible — go find the cause) vs
dementia (gradual, progressive)NG-237 Bell's palsy (CN VII , motor, protect the eye) vs trigeminal
neuralgia (CN V , sensory, avoid triggers)NG-158 neurogenic shock — the only shock with bradycardia and warm dry
skin instead of tachycardia and cold clammy skina falling level of
consciousness is the earliest and most sensitive indicator of neuro deterioration.
