1 Using the Pupillometer in Clinical Practice Claude Hemphill MD M.A.S. Kathy Johnson RN, MSN Mary Kay Bader RN, MSN, CCNS

2 Pupillometry: How It Works

3 NPi -100 Pupillometer Katherine Johnson, RN, MS, CNS-BC, CCRN, CNRN Neuro CNS Honolulu, Hawaii

4 Change of Shift: did the pupil really get bigger? Dark eyes: where is the iris/pupil boundary? Pin Point Pupils: any reaction? Are the pupils really fixed? Or did I see a reaction? Brisk? Or Sluggish to

5 THEN: NOW: Slide compliments of: Neurooptics NPi -100 Pupillometer

6 NPI (Neurological Pupillary Index) NPi is an algorithm developed by NeurOptics after many years of research in the modeling of pupil dynamics. INPUT Pupil variable NPi 1, 2, 3, n OUTPUT 5 3 Normal > 3-5 Abnormal < 3 0

7 Key Definitions

8 NPi Normal > 3-5 Abnormal < 3 MAX/MIN mm %CH % Constriction % or Percentage Change LAT Seconds Latency Constriction Velocity (CV) Maximum Constriction Velocity (MCV)

9 Conclusions The Npi -100 pupillometer can reliably detect smaller changes than the human eye and allows trending of gradual changes. Brisk, Sluggish or Non-reactive can be quantified Pupillometry does not replace the bedside Neuro Exam

10 Instructional Video

11 Bedside Nursing Use of Pupillometry

12 Indications Head Injury mild, moderate & severe Subarachnoid hemorrhage Intracerebral hemorrhage Ischemic stroke Craniotomy patients post-op Multisystem trauma patients with history of loss of consciousness Post Cardiac Arrest Patients

13 Considerations Medications Fentanyl affects pupillary reflex dilation Morphine affects pupillary size/constriction velocity (bolus dose) Symmetrical changes Midazolam can affect constriction velocity but it is symmetrical Paralytics no impact Propofol slows but symmetrical Barbiturates Makes them big and non-reactive

14 Application Data Forms

15 Data Form: Trending

16 Data Form: Trending

17 Mannitol IV Push ICP and Constriction Velocity ICP in mm Hg Barb Coma Started Barbs off C. Velocity Intracranial Pressure Constriction Velocity

18 Application: Case 1 41 year old female admitted as code stroke last night seen normal was 2300

19 Application: Case 1 ED to CT Taken to Neuro Interventional for possible Tx Pupillometer readings On arrival Right Left 4.5 mm 4.2mm mm 4.2mm

20 Application: Case 1 Admitted to SICU at 0610 am Unable to open vessel with IA tpa 17 mg over 120 minutes and 2 passes of Merci Retrieval Pupillometer readings 0655 Small pupils hard to detect pupillary reaction constriction velocities of 0.15 and 0.23 with normal NPI 0943 constriction velocities of 0.05 and 0.07 and abnormal NPI (1.7 and 2.7) 1100 Right pupil 5.2 and Left 2.9

22 Post Interventional Craniectomy ICP PbtO2 placed

23 Case 1: Pt Undergoes Hypothermia

24 Application in Clinical Setting 65 year old male Ischemic stroke transfer 4.5 hours after onset

25 Application: Case 2 To OR Post Craniectomy

26 Application: Case 2 Post op Decompressive Hemicraniectomy and Implementation of Hypothermia Normal NPI Post Decompressive Cranietomy

27 Application: Case 3 60 year old female Having dinner with husband Complains of sudden onset of severe headache Asks for her BP medicine Husband returns to table, wife is slumped in chair Calls 911 Admit as Code Stroke Hunt and Hess V Fisher IV To OR for ICP/PbtO2 Post coiling CT Increase blood

28 ICU Course Day TCDs moderate spasm ICP d/c on Day 13 Pupil: RCv 1.2 ms LCv 1.1 ms Pupillometer readings WNL Day 15 PbtO2 dips Pupillometer slows R Cv 0.5ms and L Cv 0.0 ms Stat CT scan shows hydrocephalus New ICP ventriculostomy placed

32 Application #4 Minor TBI TB, 18 year old male, fell from skateboard CT shows contusions/shift of 8 mm To OR for ICP/Brain oxygen monitors Initial ICP 32 mm Hg opening pressure Mannitol intraop ICP decreases to 19 mm Hg Right CV 0.98 mm /sec Left CV 0.81 mm/sec

33 Application Case 5 TBI 21 year old male sustains severe TBI ICP/Brain oxygen monitors placed ICP controllable first 24 hours with ICP <20 Pupillometer Right Pupil mm CV 0.92 mm/sec Left Pupil mm CV 1.02 mm/sec Pupillometer slows 2 hours later

34 21 year old male sustains severe TBI ICP increases to 32 mm Hg 40 minutes later Treated with Hypertonic Saline ICP decreases Constriction Velocity returns to 0.95 mm/sec and 1.05 mm/sec

41 Temporal Progression of NPi : pupil diameter Patient B: TBI with an occipital parenchymal hemorrhage and a right lateral intraventricular hemorrhage. The CT scan revealed no cisterns and no midline shift and a mass size of 4cc (right).
