Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Explained | Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Made Easy
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the most commonly used scoring system for describing a person's level of consciousness after a traumatic brain injury. Essentially, it is used to assess the severity of an acute brain injury. The test is simple to perform, reliable, and correlates well with the outcome of severe brain injury. There are 3 parameters that are measured independently as part of an assessment of a patient’s GCS. And this are. Eye Opening Response. Verbal Response. And Motor Response. The highest response from each category obtained by the healthcare professional is scored. The maximum possible score is 15, which indicates that the patient is fully conscious, and the lowest possible score is 3, which indicates that the patient is either in a coma or dead.
