Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) function is based on 1974_Lancet_ Teasdale Assessment of Coma and Impaired
Consciousness-A Practical Scale. Three aspects of behavior are independently measured: eye opening, verbal
response, and motor response. The scores are added together to indicate that patient’s level of consciousness.
GCS is intended for adults and pediatric patients.
CAUTION
•
GCS is for reference only. Consult other clinical observations for diagnosis.
•
GCS is not applied to patients that are sedated, muscularly relaxed, with artificial airway, drunk,
hypothermia or in status epilepsies.
•
GCS is not applied to deaf people and patients having language barrier or with mental disorder.
•
When applied to children younger than five years old or to the elderly, the GCS score may not reflect
actual function.
