A useful tool for evaluating conscious level impairment in reaction to certain stimuli is the Glasgow Coma Scale.
"Clinical practice and research are both heavily reliant on the Glasgow Coma Scale." Experience obtained since the Scale's first description in 1974 has led to the creation of a contemporary structured method with increased accuracy, dependability, and communication in its application, which has progressed the evaluation of the Scale.
The Glasgow Coma Scale is a system of examining a comatose patient. It is helpful for evaluating the depth of the coma, tracking the patient's progress, and predicting (somewhat) the ultimate outcome of the coma.
More about Glasgow Coma Scale: -
- All forms of acute illness and trauma patients can have their level of impaired consciousness measured objectively using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
- The scale rates patients based on their eye-opening, muscular, and vocal responses—the three components of responsiveness. A distinct, understandable portrait of a patient may be obtained by reporting each of them independently. The results of each scale component can be combined to provide a total Glasgow Coma Score, which provides a helpful assessment of the overall severity but is less comprehensive.
- Since then, various clinical recommendations and scoring systems for those who have experienced trauma, or a severe disease have included the Glasgow Coma Scale and its overall score. This exercise reviews the function of the Glasgow Coma Scale and explains how to use it.
