The best video on gcs that I found so far. Great memory aids. Just simple enough that anyone can remember and not so complicated as to bore everyone to death. Great job
I've been searching for a great video for this, and finally found one! Thank you so much! It's helpful to have the visual cue to call to mind when thinking of it!
Thanks. The first questions states that the patient looks at you "when you speak to her." Wouldn't that be eyes open by voice? Making it a 3 and not a 4?
excuse me , at 2:38 it s said something like; 'you ll get 5 points for LOCALISED or purposeful mvmts such as withdrawing?? or pushing away...' But it s known that: *Purposeful movement in response to pain, Localizes to pain =5 points *Withdraws in response to pain =4 points May be Withdrawing shouldn't been used as an exemple for 5 given that Withdrawing is counted as 4. thanks
Motor Response •6 Obeys commands for movement • 5 Purposeful movement to painful stimulus •4 Withdraws in response to pain •3 Flexion in response to pain (decorticate posturing) •2 Extension response in response to pain (decerebrate posturing) • No response 1 point from cdcdotcom
The exact wording used varies from source to source. The words we used when making this video were chosen, because we felt they were the shortest, most concise description. We wanted to avoid any 'fluff' and make it as short, and easy to remember as possible.
Hey there, great videos! My only question of in the first scenario it states she opens her eyes when you speak to her. Wouldn't that give you an E: 3, rather than what you gave her which was a E: 4? Thank you!
Hey Technocardy, Great Question, I'm glad you asked. A score of E:3 is awarded when a patient opens their eyes in response to auditory stimuli, and E:4 is awarded when the patient's eye response is deemed normal, meaning they open their eyes spontaneously. In this case the patient 'looks at you when you speak to her', as opposed to opening her eyes when you speak to her. The question does not say anything about opening/closing eyes. To me, this is a normal function, and is awarded 4 points. If it said something more along the lines of 'the patient opens her eyes when you say her name' that would be 3 points. When you see these types of questions on an exam, it is critical to take the question at face value, don't assume anything, or read too far into a question. All the necessary information will be present for you to answer the question. When people read too far into these test questions, start inferring, and reading things that are not there, is when they get in trouble. I hope this cleared up your question, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask ;)
The GCS is great. You get 3 points for being dead! Seriously, be objective when assessing a GCS. In scenario 1, don't automatically give the lady V3; how do you know she's not deaf and thought you asked "what color's a grape?"......
Awesome video and good tips but if you are going to be doing more of these please get a better microphone.....or at least stop making balloon animals in the background!
Thank you for the explanation. I tend to learn better by examples, this helped.

This was really helpful. I've struggled with remembering the scale, and the visuals are great. Thanks.

The terminology in the Motor Response section is different from what we use up here in NY

Emergency Medical Counsel Thank you! That definitely did clear things up 100% for me!
Great videos, keep them coming!
well done, thanks
Scraping sound ....very distracting

Hey devkrev,
Thanks for the positive feedback. I agree with you about the sound quality, and i am looking into getting better recording equipment.
To me this is a very confusing way to memorize it. I like EVM456
Thanks for the video!
thank u !!!!!!! :)
