Measuring Optic Nerve Size in Healthcare Trainees and Nurses
This trial is studying a method for measuring the optic nerve size using ultrasound. It focuses on healthcare trainees and experienced ICU nurses to see how well different skill levels perform the measurement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student, nurse student, or a resident training in anesthesia
- OR you're a nurse with at least 3 years of experience in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have never measured the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) before

This study uses an ultrasound scan to measure the space around the optic nerve in healthy adults. It helps researchers better understand normal ultrasound measurements for comparison in future eye or brain-related conditions.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during general anesthesia in children to see how they affect the size of the optic nerve sheath, which can indicate pressure changes in the brain.
This trial tests if measuring the optic nerve sheath (the lining around the eye nerve) can help track pressure in the brain after a head injury, especially when patients need a medicine called mannitol to reduce swelling. It may help doctors make better decisions for patients with traumatic brain injury.
This study uses an OCT (a special camera that scans the back of your eye) to measure the thickness of nerve layers in people with nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). It helps doctors understand how different prescriptions affect eye structures.
This study uses multiple non-invasive imaging methods to evaluate blood flow in the optic nerve head for people with acute or chronic optic nerve conditions, including NAION, optic neuritis, LHON, and NTG.
This study aims to improve how we take pictures of the back of the eye (called OCT imaging) in both healthy adults and children. It will help doctors get better images to diagnose and manage eye conditions.
