Pupil Response Monitoring in Critically Ill Patients
This study tracks how your pupils react to light while you're in the intensive care unit. Researchers believe these reactions may help predict how critically ill patients recover, and want to understand if monitoring them could improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are admitted to an emergency intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your expected ICU stay is longer than 48 hours
- You do not have severe eye disease, eye injury, or recent eye surgery
- You do not have nerve disorders affecting eye movement or pupil function

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
This trial tests if different breathing machine settings change how the pupil responds to light. It aims to help doctors understand how ventilation mode affects the nervous system.
This study looks at how your eyes react to light and how that relates to your sleep and daily body rhythms. It may help researchers understand sleep problems and find better ways to treat them.
This study checks how well a device can measure how your pupils respond to colored light. It may help improve eye testing, especially when monitoring certain vision and nerve conditions.
This study looks at how your pupils react to light in healthy people. It may help doctors understand normal eye responses, which could improve future eye tests.
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
