Glasgow coma scale (GCS) is a medical method to evaluate the coma degree of patients, which was invented by Graham Teasdale and Bryan J. Jennett, two professors of neurosurgery at the University of Glasgow, England, in 1974.
The degree of coma was evaluated by the sum of three scores. The higher the score, the better the state of consciousness. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) can objectively judge patients' consciousness.
Glasgow coma index can be evaluated from three aspects: eye opening response, language response and limb movement, and the sum of the three aspects is coma index:
Open your eyes (e, open your eyes).
4 points: spontaneous: when approaching the patient, the patient can open his eyes voluntarily, and the operator is not allowed to talk to or touch the patient.
3 minutes: Talk on the phone: Call the patient at normal volume or at high volume, and don't touch the patient.
2 points: Open your eyes when there is stimulation or pain (for pain): pat or shake the patient first, and then give strong stimulation after no response, such as: stimulate the outside of the second or third finger of the patient with a pen tip, and increase the stimulation to the maximum within 10 second. Strong stimulation to open eyes, 2 points deducted. If you just frown, close your eyes and look painful, it will be less than 2 points.
1: no response to stimulation (none).
