Efficacy of a theoretical-practical course for the ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve diameter in different healthcare operators
These findings highlight the feasibility of training medical students, ICU nurses and residents in ONSD measurement, opening the possibility of a wider application of this technique. After dedicated training, ONSD assessment and monitoring could be performed not only by specialists but also by other healthcare providers, including specialized nurses. This may serve as an additional tool for the rapid triage of patients, even in out-of-hospital settings.
