We have two main indications to stop CPR in Russia. Ineffective CPR for at least 30 minutes since cardiac arrest when there's no hypothermia. There is a danger to the rescuers at the scene. We do not assess corneal reflex during resuscitation but we assess it in a standart neurological examination to pronounce a patient's death. read more

Just as with the corneal reflex, ipsilateral electrical stimulation of the supraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve elicits a facial nerve (eye blink) response bilaterally. Stimulation of the ipsilateral supraorbital nerve results in an afferent volley along the trigeminal nerve to both the main sensory nucleus of V (mid-pons) and the nucleus of the spinal tract of V (lower pons and medulla) in the brainstem. read more
