    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.
