Total GCS = E + V + M; results interpret consciousness level

GCS: E + V + M; results interpret consciousness level — E + V + M; results interpret consciousness level
E: E value — Variable used in the calculation
V: V value — Variable used in the calculation
M: M value — Variable used in the calculation
