  2. While the Pupilometer is a relatively new technology, its use has already significantly affected the treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). This device is an effective tool for determining the percent change in pupil size and whether a patient with TBI has suffered any damage to their brain. It is also an effective tool for monitoring a patient’s recovery. • This article will discuss how the Pupilometer has changed the treatment of TBI and how it can be used to monitor recovery from a brain injury. This article will also discuss some benefits and limitations of this device. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  3. Reasons why pupil diameter measurement is essential in traumatic brain injury treatment • The pupil diameter measurement is an essential part of the treatment for TBI because it helps doctors determine whether or not a patient has suffered any damage to their brain. If the pupil diameter is abnormal, this can indicate that there has been some kind of injury to the brain and therefore helps doctors decide what course of action they should take next. • By measuring pupil diameter changes over time, people in critical care nursing can monitor a patient’s progress during recovery and determine whether they are making progress. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  4. What is a pupilometer? • Pupilometers are a tool used during a pupil exam to help doctors determine whether there has been any damage to the brain. • A pupilometer is a device that measures eye movement and pupil size, which is then used with other medical tests like CT scans and MRIs to diagnose TBIs. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  5. How does the pupilometer work? • The pupilometer measures the size of a patient’s pupils by shining a light into their eyes. Doctors will then use this information to determine whether there has been any damage to the brain. • The pupilometer works by measuring how much light passes through the eye and into the back of it. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  6. Advantages of Using a Pupilometer • A pupilometer helps diagnose TBIs because it can be used quickly and easily in almost any setting. This makes it ideal for doctors working in emergency rooms or other areas where time is of the essence. • Besides being quick and easy to use, a pupilometer is also very accurate. It can measure the size of a patient’s pupils with great accuracy because it uses light to indicate how much damage has been done to the brain. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com
