Glasgow Coma Scale Breakdown

The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess levels of consciousness after brain injuries. It evaluates eye opening response, verbal response, and motor response on scales of 1 to 4, 1 to 5, and 1 to 6 respectively, with lower numbers indicating worse neurological function. Spontaneous eye opening, orientated speech, and obeying commands indicate the highest levels of function.
