The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a neurological assessment tool used to evaluate a patient's level of consciousness after a head injury or other medical condition affecting the brain. It assesses eye opening, verbal response, and motor response to stimulation.
The scale ranges from 3 to 15, with a score of 3 indicating a deep coma and a score of 15 indicating the patient is fully conscious. A score of 8 or less is considered to indicate severe brain injury, while a score of 13 or higher indicates mild injury.
The Glasgow Coma Scale helps medical professionals determine the severity of a brain injury and can inform treatment decisions and prognosis. However, it is not always a perfect indicator of a patient's true level of consciousness and should be used in conjunction with other assessments and clinical judgment.
