Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Quantitative pupillometry is emerging as a rapid, objective method for assessing neurologic function, even in high‑acuity situations. This activity explores a case in which nurses obtained pupillometry readings during cardiac arrest, offering a unique look at the feasibility of collecting these data during resuscitation. Learners will examine how pupillometry can provide insight into cerebral perfusion and potential recovery, as well as practical challenges such as timing assessments and navigating crowded resuscitation environments. This case highlights how a portable, noninvasive tool may expand neurologic monitoring during arrest while raising important questions about its role in clinical decision‑making.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
