The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a commonly used clinical scale for measuring the level of consciousness. It is based on the theory that the brain responds to environmental stimuli in a predictable way, and that the severity of the underlying illness can be determined by measuring the patient's level of consciousness.
The GCS was developed by the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Glasgow and is now used in many hospitals around the world. It is a 3-point scale, and the lowest score (3) indicates that the patient is completely unconscious. A score of 6 indicates that the patient is in deep coma, and a score of 12 indicates that the patient is in a coma with symptoms.
If you are a paramedic or other health care professional, the GCS can be useful to assess the severity of a patient's illness. It is also used to monitor the patient's progress after the treatment has been started.
The GCS has been included in the guidelines for emergency use, which have been published by the UK Department of Health.
It is a useful tool for health care professionals to have at their disposal.
