A precise tool.
What is the Gcs Calculator & How does it work?
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a neurological scale that assesses the level of consciousness in individuals who are suspected of having sustained a head injury. It was developed by Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett in 1974.
The GCS consists of three components: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Each component is scored on a scale from 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating better function. The total score ranges from 3 (indicating severe impairment) to 15 (indicating normal consciousness).
GCS = E + V + M
E = Eye opening, V = Verbal response, M = Motor response
