The ocular microtremor (OMT) is mediated by the oculomotor area of the brainstem and is altered in several pathologic states, including traumatic brain injury, general anesthesia, brain death, coma, Parkinsonism and multiple sclerosis. The EYETECT tremor monitor is a non-invasive means of measuring the frequency and amplitude of this microscopic tremor. It has been clinically tested in these clinical scenarios and has been found to be a reliable means of detecting the depth of anesthesia, and has been useful in predicting outcome in coma and traumatic brain injury patients and in confirming brain death. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the EYETECT OMT monitor, describes the underlying physiology and discusses the potential for future works and clinical use of this innovative technology.
眼球微震颤（OMT）由脑干的动眼神经区域介导，在多种病理状态下会发生改变，包括创伤性脑损伤、全身麻醉、脑死亡、昏迷、帕金森病和多发性硬化症。EYETECT震颤监测仪是一种测量这种微小震颤频率和幅度的非侵入性方法。它已在这些临床场景中进行了临床测试，被发现是检测麻醉深度的可靠手段，并且在预测昏迷和创伤性脑损伤患者的预后以及确认脑死亡方面很有用。本文回顾了关于EYETECT OMT监测仪的科学文献，描述了其潜在的生理学原理，并讨论了这项创新技术未来研究和临床应用的潜力。
