The Glasgow coma scale ( GCS ) is a 15-point scale used to assess the level of consciousness of individuals at risk of neurological deterioration, especially after a head trauma. It was originally developed in 1974 by neurosurgeons Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett as a way to assess consciousness following a traumatic brain injury, however, it is now widely used throughout the world in acute medical and trauma settings as part of the neurological assessment. The Glasgow Coma Scale ( GCS ) estimates impaired consciousness and coma severity based on response to defined stimuli including Eye, Verbal, and Motor criteria. First introduced in 1974 at the University of Glasgow by neurosurgery professors Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett, the Glasgow Coma Scale ( GCS ) offers an objective method for describing the extent of impaired consciousness in patients with acute medical conditions or trauma.[1] The scale evaluates 3 aspects of responsiveness—eye-opening, verbal, and motor responses. Reporting each component separately allows clinicians to communicate a clear and detailed picture of the patient’s ... The Glasgow Coma Scale [1] ( GCS ) is a clinical diagnostic tool widely used since the 1970s to roughly assess an injured person's level of brain damage. The GCS diagnosis is based on a patient's ability to respond and interact with three kinds of behaviour: eye movements, speech, and other body motions.
