Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Optic nerve sheath diameterApproximately 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.
