What areas does the Glasgow Coma Scale measure and how is it used?
The Glasgow Coma Scale measures three areas:
eye opening on a scale of 4 to 1
best motor response on a scale of 6 to 1
verbal response on a scale of 5 to 1
The range for a Glasgow Coma Scale is 3 to 15 (the lowest score possible is 3; a person dead on arrival at an ER would score a 3). The Glasgow Coma Scale scores recorded upon arrival at the ER and on the second, third, fourth, and seventh post-injury days are extremely predictive of the patient's outcome.
