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 reliability of the Glasgow Coma Scale: a systematic review

Intensive Care Medicine, 2015
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) provides a structured method for assessment of the level of consciousness. Its derived sum score is applied in research and adopted in intensive care unit scoring systems. Controversy exists on the reliability of the GCS. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize evidence on the reliability of the GCS.A literature ...

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.

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.
