This letter is a response to another letter to the editor, discussing factors that were missed in assessing optic nerve sheath diameter and deformability index in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. The authors agree that preexisting eye conditions and seizure activity can affect the correlation between optic nerve sheath parameters and intracranial pressure. However, they argue that excluding patients with preexisting glaucoma may lead to a sample that more accurately reflects the potential future use of optic nerve sheath parameters in assessing intracranial pressure. They also mention that the incidence of seizure activity in their cohort remains undetermined, but the deep sedation of the patients makes clinically relevant seizure activity less likely. Additionally, they clarify that the deformability index has no specific unit as it is derived from a mathematical model. The authors conclude by stating their contributions and acknowledging their sources of support and conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article] |
