    The Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess consciousness in children and infants. It evaluates three criteria: eye opening response, verbal response, and motor response on scales of 1 to 5 or 6. A higher score indicates a higher level of consciousness. The scale is designed to quickly assess a child's status after brain injury or illness.
