   What is the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)?

   • The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) allows healthcare professionals to consistently evaluate the level of consciousness of a patient. It is commonly used in the context of head trauma, but it is also useful in a wide variety of other non-trauma related settings. Regular assessment of a patient’s GCS can identify early signs of deterioration.

   What does gcs7 mean on a coma scale?

   • This is important for medical staff as GCS7 = E1V3M4 and GCS7 = E2V1M4 could indicate different treatments or diagnoses. It is impossible to score 0; Glasgow Coma Scale 3 is the lowest possible outcome. Glasgow Coma Scale 15 is the highest possible score. Two pediatric Glasgow Coma Scales have been developed for children under five years of age.

   A person's GCS score can range from 3 (completely unresponsive) to 15 (responsive). This score is used to guide immediate medical care after a brain injury (such as a car accident) and also to monitor hospitalised patients and track their level of consciousness. Lower GCS scores are correlated with higher risk of death.
