New data show that a brief 4-hour training (lecture + supervised scans) allows medical students, ICU nurses, and residents to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) with accuracy comparable to experts.
Only nurse students had higher variability.
This supports wider adoption of ONSD as a noninvasive tool for early detection of elevated intracranial pressure — even beyond specialist teams.
