ABSTRACT
To test the use of the "pupillometer tongue depressor" by auxiliary nursing was the goal of this study. The same evaluation used by nurses was performed in this group. After explaining the use of the device, each auxiliary nursing registered on a "Card-test" the value of the two circles, which diameters were equal or unequal. Afterward, a pair of the auxiliary nursing evaluates the pupil diameter of one patient. The accuracy of the millimeter circles was very high but not the effectiveness of the pupil diameter measurement. Nearly 1/3 of the auxiliary nursing referred difficulties in performing this evaluation.
