The Glasgow Coma Scale in clinical practice: a critique.

M Lowry1.   

Abstract

Nurses need to be able to assess a patient's neurological state and record changes in this status over time. One instrument for classifying neurological status is the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Its use is now widespread, although it has not been validated. This article describes the weaknesses of this method and points to an alternative.
