Correlation of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Guided Pupillary Assessment Parameter with Glasgow Coma Scale in Patients with Altered Mental Status– A Cross Sectional Study

Priyanka Modi, Sanjeev Bhoi – Earlier studies have proved deteriorating Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) as a marker of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Low GCS is associated with abnormal pupillary parameters. Currently, many studies have proved that ultrasound provides a feasible and objective assessment of pupillary light reflex. However, literature is lacking to evaluate objective pupillary parameters to predict GCS of the patients by point of care ultrasound (POCUS).
