Glasgow coma scale explained

BMJ, 2019
The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) is a tool used to assess and calculate a patient’s level of consciousness. It was developed more than 40 years ago by two neurosurgeons in Glasgow and is widely applied today.1 The GCS uses a triple criteria scoring system: best eye opening (maximum 4 points), best verbal response (maximum 5 points), and best motor response

The Glasgow Coma Scale: A mathematical critique

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1993
The Glasgow Coma Scale permits 120 possible mathematical combinations of eye, verbal and motor scores. Out of these only about 15 are clinically valid and useful in the assessment of altered consciousness. A mathematical analysis of this pruned scale shows a predominant skew towards the motor response. Without clinically altering the scale.

Glasgow Coma Scale Scoring is Often Inaccurate

Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, 2014
AbstractIntroductionThe Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely applied in the emergency setting; it is used to guide trauma triage and for the application of essential interventions such as endotracheal intubation. However, inter-rater reliability of GCS scoring has been shown to be low for inexperienced users, especially for the motor component.

GlasgowSim - Glasgow Coma Scale Simulation

AHFE International
The training of healthcare professionals is a tough and prolonged process that requires deep understanding of theoretical concepts as well as technical, non-technical skills. Commonly, during the early stages of medical education instructional techniques involve static and unrealistic learning materials, based on the old philosophies.

Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)

1989
One important method of rapidly assessing the patient with head injuries is the Glasgow Coma Scale, named after its city of origin. Originally published in Lancet in 1974 [1], it has withstood the test of time as a practical clinical tool. Although no substitute for a complete neurological examination, it is useful both as an indicator of injury ...
