15.2 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 intended as an adjunct in patient assessment and must be used in
conjunction with observation of clinical signs and symptoms.
•
GCS is not applied to patients that are sedated, muscularly relaxed, with
artificial airway, drunk, 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 elder people who are
slow, the GCS score might be low.
