The applications and advantages of portable pupillometry for a wide
variety of healthcare providers are becoming increasingly evident,
with frequent pupil evaluation becoming the protocol throughout
critical care and emergency departments. Authored by a world leading
expert, this practical, user-friendly book brings together all the
research on portable pupillometry and explains the meaning of the
various parameters that new portable pupillometers provide. Starting
with the anatomy and physiology of the pupil, the book moves on to
discuss pharmacological effects, unusual pupillary syndromes,
measurement and size of the pupil, pupillary reflex dilation and
pupillary unrest. Additional chapters focus on traumatic brain injury,
cardiac arrest, intensive care, opioid effect, acute pain and
anisocoria and provide valuable clinical examples and case reports.
Also featuring an extensive bibliography for further reading, this
book is essential reading for all healthcare professionals using the
pupil to evaluate drug effects and ischemic/traumatic insults to the
brain.
