    1. Pressure delivering oxygen to brain
      1. If it is too low = Can cause ischemia because not enough blood and oxygen are getting to the brain
      2. If it is too high=Can raise intracranial pressure because more blood flow is delivered into the brain
    2. Normal range is 70-95mmHg but can range 50-160mmHg
    3. Calculation = Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) minus Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
