Recruit Status: COMPLETED

Condition: Sepsis-associated Encephalopathy

Official Title: Is the Ratio of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter to Eyeball Transverse Diameter Correlated with the Prognosis of Sepsis Associated Encephalopathy in Critically Ill Patients

Brief Summary: Sepsis is associated with a mortality rate of 20-25%, with significant increase in case of associated comorbidities or shock.SAE is one of the most common forms of encephalopathy encountered in critically ill patients, with increased ICP as a possible underlying mechanism.Many studies revealed that ONSD is a valuable ICP monitoring tool.Also, ONSD/ETD ratio, according to previous studies, seemed to be more reliable than ONSD alone in predicting neurological outcomes of comatosed patients.The present study…
