16.2 Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) function is based on Teasdale’s Assessment of Coma and Impaired Consciousness-A
Practical Scale (Lancet, 1974)
. Three aspects of behavior are independently measured: eye opening, verbal
response, and motor response. The scores are added together to indicate that patient’s level of consciousness.
GCS is intended for adults and pediatric patients.
• GCS is for reference only. Consult other clinical observations for diagnosis.
• GCS is not applied to patients that are sedated, muscularly relaxed, with artificial airway, drunk,
hypothermia or in status epilepsies.
• Please refer to hospital policy regarding acceptable use of GCS.
• When applied to children younger than five years old or to the elderly, the GCS score may not reflect
actual function.
