Eye reflexes may reveal ICU patient outcomes
NCT ID NCT07616518
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether changes in how the pupils react to light can predict recovery in critically ill patients. Researchers will measure pupil responses daily for the first week in the ICU. They aim to see if these measurements relate to how well patients do at discharge and 90 days later.
