Department Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Total score and each of the subscales for eye opening. The scales based on the two dimensional vectors, whether only the cogency score or the entire V + C, were slightly superior to GCS Total score in all but the prediction of being discharged alive.

The Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale or Pediatric Glasgow Coma Score (PGCS) is the equivalent of the and is use to assess the consciousness of infants and children. Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale is used in cases of head injury of children mostly. The scale has been modified from original Glasgow coma scale as s many of the assessments for an adult patient would not be appropriate for infants and young children. Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale – Click to ENLARGE The Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale comprises of three tests: eye, verbal and motor responses as in Glasgow coma scale(GCS).

Best eye response: (E) 4. Eyes opening spontaneously 3. Eye opening to speech 2. Eye opening to pain 1. No eye opening Best verbal response: (V) Main difference from adult Glasgow coma scale comes in the verbal response. Here the responses are different age wise Age 0-23 Months 5. Infant coos or babbles or smiles appropriately (normal activity) 4.
Infant cries but consolale 3. Persistent crying and or screaming 2. Infant moans to pain, grunts, agitated and restless.
No verbal response Age 2-5Years 5. Appropriate words or phrases 4.
Inappropriate words 3. Persistent Cries or screams 2.
No response Age> 5 Years 5. Disoriented, confused 3. Inappropriate words 2. Incomprehensible sounds 1.
No response In children greater than 5 years of age, the responses are similar to adult Glasgow Coma Scale. Best motor responses: (M) 6. Infant moves spontaneously or purposefully 5. Infant withdraws from touch 4. Infant withdraws from pain 3. Abnormal to pain for an infant (decorticate response) 2.
To pain (decerebrate response) 1. No motor response Interpretation of Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale A Coma Score of 13 or higher correlates with a mild brain injury, 9 to 12 is a moderate injury and 8 or less a severe brain injury. Any combined score of less than eight represents a significant risk of mortality. In writing the score, along with total score individual components are also mentioned. For example E3V3M5, GCS 11.
Abstract In an attempt to assess admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and other radiographic variables after penetrating craniocerebral injury in relationship to outcome, the author evaluated a series of 294 patients with penetrating injuries who presented with a GCS score of 6 to 15 over a 6-year period. Entrance criteria required a replicable neurological examination that was not altered by the presence of hypotension, drugs/toxins, or systemic injury. All patients underwent surgical intervention and aggressive perioperative management, including resuscitative protocols, in the neurosurgical intensive care unit.
The author previously devised prospective models of outcome remained unchanged in this series. The variables most predictive of death include admission GCS score and subarachnoid hemorrhage in one model and admission GCS score and pupillary changes in a second when pupillary response was definitive at admission (p ≤ 0.00005). Other important variables related to morbidity include admission GCS, bihemispheric injury when associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, and diffuse fragmentation (p ≤ 0.001).
In this study a significant relationship between operative intervention and survival (p ≤ 0.01) was found in patients with an admission GCS scores of 6 to 8. No significant relationships between operative intervention and survival were found in patients with admission GCS scores of 9 to 12 and 13 to 15.
A significant relationship between operative intervention and morbidity (p ≤ 0.01) was also demonstrated in patients with an admission GCS score of 12 to 15. No significant relationships between operative intervention and morbidity were found in patients with an admission GCS score of 6 to 8 and 9 to 12.
