In sepsis the brain is frequently affected although there is no infection of the CNS (septic encephalopathy). One possible cause of septic encephalopathy is failure of the blood-brain barrier. Brain edema has been documented in animal models of sepsis. Aggressive fluid resuscitation in the early course of sepsis improves survival and is standard practice. We hypothesized that aggressive fluid administration will increase intracranial pressure (ICP) and may cause critical reductions in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP).
