Glasgow coma scale

Scale devised 20 years ago to assess level of consciousness in patients with brain disease or injury. It is a 15-point scale that tests the patient's degree of eye opening and verbal and motor responses. It is widely used as part of the neurological observations performed where there is impairment of consciousness.
