Measuring optic nerve size in healthcare workers
This study measures the size of the optic nerve (the nerve that sends visual information from the eye to the brain) using ultrasound in healthcare workers. It aims to see how different levels of training affect the measurement accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student, nursing student, anesthesia resident, or a nurse.
- If you are a nurse, you must have at least 3 years of intensive care unit (ICU) experience.
- You have not previously received training or practice in measuring optic nerve sheath diameter (a test using ultrasound to check pressure around the brain).

This study looks at how healthy adults pay attention to, recognize, and look at images. It may help scientists understand normal vision, which can guide future treatments for vision problems.
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 looks at how blood flows in the optic nerve (the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain) using advanced imaging. It aims to better understand different optic nerve conditions, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study looks at how the optic nerve (the part of your eye that sends images to your brain) strains or bends in people who do not have glaucoma. It uses advanced eye imaging and home pressure checks to understand the nerve's health.
This study checks if a simple, painless eye ultrasound can help predict confusion (delirium) after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify patients at risk earlier and improve recovery.
This study looks at vision problems that are linked to the brain and nerves, specifically for people who have been diagnosed with NO. By reviewing your medical data, researchers hope to better understand this condition and improve care.
