What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Optic nerve sheath diameter
Time Frame: Approximately 10 minutes at the time of ultrasounds
Develop software that will automatically measure optic nerve sheath diameter by analyzing the radio frequency data from an ultrasound probe intervention from those that do not, we will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter manually in the cross-sectional images.
Approximately 10 minutes at the time of ultrasounds
