The Glasgow Coma Scale [1] (GCS) is a clinical scale used to reliably measure a person's level of consciousness after a brain injury. The GCS assesses a person based on their ability to perform eye movements, speak, and move their body. These three behaviours make up the three elements of the scale: eye, verbal, and motor.
The most common observations utilised in EWSs to predict deterioration is respiratory rate, followed by heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, systolic blood pressure, then level of consciousness (either AVPU or GCS). A small number of EWSs include age and sex as predictors of deterioration, as both have associations with in-hospital ...
As with the GCS, the PGCS comprises three tests: eye, verbal and motor responses. The three values separately as well as their sum are considered. The lowest possible PGCS (the sum) is 3 (deep coma or death) whilst the highest is 15 (fully awake and aware person). The pediatric GCS is commonly used in emergency medical services.
The Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (also known as Pediatric Glasgow Coma Score or simply PGCS) is the equivalent of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) used to assess the mental state of adult patients. As many of the assessments for an adult patient would not be appropriate for infants, the scale was modified slightly.
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the most widely used scoring system used to assess the level of severity of a brain injury. This method is based on objective observations of specific traits to determine the severity of a brain injury. It is based on three traits: eye-opening, verbal response, and motor response, which are gauged as described below.
The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) is a clinical scale utilized to measure the severity of the concussion. [15] The normal GCS can be used for children above the age of two, and a pediatric GCS has also been developed to assess the symptoms for children under the age of two. [16] [17]
When compared to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) the AVPU classification of alertness has been suggested to correspond in the following manner: Alert = 15 GCS; Voice Responsive = 13 GCS; Pain Responsive = 8 GCS; Unconscious/DOA = 3 GCS (Kelly, Upex and Bateman, 2004) [1] The AVPU scale can also be compared to the Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS).
The DXS (extra-Galactic) covers an area of 35 square degrees in JK to a depth of K=21.0 with 5 square degrees also imaged in H. The survey fields are at high Galactic latitudes with low extinction, and are chosen to overlap with deep observations made at other wavelengths.
