Self Test. Now that you’ve seen how to perform the new structured approach to assessment of the Glasgow Coma Scale, test your learning by answering these questions (Disclaimer). When you have completed the questions you will receive a score with feedback on your answers.
The Glasgow Coma Scale provides a clinical index of the ‘overall’ acute impairment of brain function, or so called ‘conscious level’. When it was described, features of focal dysfunction such as brainstem signs were not incorporated and instead were intended to be assessed separately.
Permissions. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), GCS Aid, GCS-P score, GCS P-Age CT prognostic charts and GCS verbal score imputation tool may all be used for clinical care and clinical research at no cost. No license is required.
The Glasgow Coma Scale Score is produced by adding the numeric values of the three responses into a sum or composite total (e.g. E3, V4, M5 = Score 12). The lowest Score possible is 3, indicating deep coma, and the highest Score is 15, indicating normal consciousness.
In 1974 Teasdale’s landmark paper with Professor Bryan Jennett described a scale for the assessment of consciousness, the Glasgow Coma Scale. It is used in hospitals all over the world to assess the severity of brain injuries.
