What is the GCS score, and how does it measure consciousness levels? - #14748
I recently heard about the GCS score in the context of brain injuries, and I’m curious to know more about how it’s used to assess consciousness. I know it’s used in emergencies, but I don’t fully understand how the scoring system works. What is the GCS score, and how is it calculated? I read that it measures eye, verbal, and motor responses—how do doctors interpret the different scores to evaluate brain function? Also, what range of scores indicates a coma, and what is considered a normal level of consciousness? I also want to know how the GCS score is used to monitor patients over time. Does the score change during recovery from a brain injury, and how can it guide treatment decisions? If anyone has experienced a GCS score assessment, what was the reason, and how did the score help in treatment decisions?
