Neuroanesthesia & neurocritical care
Time to maximum pupil constriction is variable in neurocritical care patients
Authors' conclusion
The tMC does not occur at a fixed point in time.
Study context
- Population
- Neuroscience ICU patients with normal pupillary light reflex values
- Participants
- 50 patients
- Outcome
- Time to maximum pupil constriction (tMC) by quantitative pupillometry, within (left vs right eye) and between patients

Within-subject mean (SD) difference, left vs right eye
0.13 (0.12)s
Within-subject difference range
