Calculate the Glasgow Coma Scale score. Select eye, verbal, and motor responses to assess consciousness level and brain injury severity.
The GCS is a clinical scale used to measure consciousness level after brain injury. It was developed at the University of Glasgow in 1974 and is widely used in emergency medicine and intensive care.
A GCS of 3 is the lowest possible score, indicating no eye opening, no verbal response, and no motor response. It may indicate deep coma or brain death, though clinical correlation is essential.
GCS is used in trauma assessment, emergency departments, ICUs, and post-operative monitoring. Serial GCS measurements help track changes in consciousness and guide treatment decisions.
