Tuesday, January 10, 2023

A newly published clinical study shows that NeurOptics’ Automated Pupillometry and the Neurological Pupil index™ (NPi®) remain unaffected by clinical intoxication, and therefore can be used for rapidly screening emergency room patients for brain injury or neurological injuries regardless of intoxicated state.

Key Points: 
  • A newly published clinical study shows that NeurOptics’ Automated Pupillometry and the Neurological Pupil index™ (NPi®) remain unaffected by clinical intoxication, and therefore can be used for rapidly screening emergency room patients for brain injury or neurological injuries regardless of intoxicated state.
  • View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230110005401/en/
    NeurOptics’ automated pupillometer has emerged as an important technology that provides a reliable measurement of pupil size and reactivity, expressed as the Neurological Pupil index (NPi).
  • The results showed that although clinical intoxication did affect pupil size and other individual metrics of the pupillary light reflex, no statistical differences in the NPi were noted between those with intoxication versus control patients.
  • NPi remained unaffected by clinical intoxication and therefore can potentially be used for ED patient evaluation without risk of confounding by key intoxicants of abuse.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Understanding the difference between emergency care and urgent care is important, especially in the stressful moments of an unexpected health crisis.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Understanding the difference between emergency care and urgent care is important, especially in the stressful moments of an unexpected health crisis.
  • With many hospitals at or near capacity, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is sharing tips to help simplify the decision about where to seek care when immediate medical attention is needed.
  • However, since most urgent care centers do not have the full suite of medical equipment or specialized staff typically found in an emergency department, they are likely not a substitute for emergency care.
  • Another difference is that emergency departments—unlike urgent care— centers, are required by law to treat or stabilize anyone who seeks emergency care, regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status.
