The Glasgow Coma Scale quantifies consciousness level from 3 (minimum) to 15 (maximum). It's used in emergency medicine to assess neurological status and predict outcomes.

Công thức

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

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1Score eye opening (E), verbal response (V), and motor response (M)
  2. 2Enter values from patient observation: E (1-4), V (1-5), M (1-6)
  3. 3Total GCS = E + V + M; results interpret consciousness level

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
E=3 (closed), V=1 (none), M=3 (abnormal flexion)
Kết quả
GCS = 7 (severe impairment)
Indicates critical condition

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Misinterpreting pain response levels in motor component
  • Not accounting for intubation when recording verbal score

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What does each component measure?

Eye opening shows arousal; verbal response shows orientation; motor response shows ability to obey commands.

How does GCS predict outcome?

Lower GCS scores correlate with worse outcomes; GCS 3-5 has mortality ~80%, GCS 13-15 has mortality ~5%.
