Glasgow Coma Scale Chart

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a tool used by medical professionals to assess a person's level of consciousness after a brain injury. It evaluates three responses: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Each category is scored from 1 to 6 for eye opening, 1 to 5 for verbal, and 1 to 6 for motor, with a maximum score of 15 indicating full consciousness. Lower scores suggest greater impairment, with a score of 8 or below indicating severe impairment or coma. The GCS helps guide treatment decisions and monitor recovery in individuals with neurological issues.
