Brudzinski's sign, a physical exam to test meningitis. It is the reflexive flexion of knees & hips following passive neck flexion. Must be supplemented with Kernig sign testing. Lumbar puncture (LP) can be done if no contraindications are present, like increased intracranial pressure (ICP), which may result in dangerous brain herniation. #mbbsstudent #medical #doctor #viral #tranding #neetpg #fmge #nursing #nursingstudent #BrainHealth #meningitis #icucare | medicalmania007
