Modern Neurological Tools: An Introduction to Pupilometer
One of the important parts of the neurological assessment is the neuro exam. A sudden blow to the head or terrible concussion may lead to a percent change in pupil size. Neuroleptics targets the critical care units and performs pupil evaluation as a noninvasive and rapid test that offers an indication of the nervous system and eye health. Measuring pupil diameter is essential as the pupils tend to be smaller due to pupillary light reflex. Acute pupillary dilation may occur in a head-injured patient. The treatment of which is a neurological emergency. The dilation occurs due to herniation and brain stem compromise, which may cause mechanical compression of the cranial nerve.
