[Pupillometry as a method for monitoring of pupillary light reflex in ICU patients]. / Pupillometriya kak metod monitoringa fotoreaktsii v neiroreanimatsii.

This review is devoted to the modern method of monitoring of pupil diameter and reactivity in patients with acute brain injury. The authors present complete data on diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of automated infrared pupillometry, which should take its rightful place in comprehensive assessment of functional brain state in ICU patients. In authors' opinion, clinical introduction of pupillometry will improve prediction of outcomes following acute brain injury and quality of neurological monitoring in patients with cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension.
