The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used to assess a patient's level of consciousness (L.O.C.). The level of consciousness is how alert and responsive a patient is to his or her environment and the stimuli around them.

The Glasgow Coma Scale scoring is from 3 to 15. A GCS score of 3-8 indicates a severe brain injury; A GCS of 9-12 indicates a moderate brain injury; and a GCS of 13-15 indicates mild brain injury.

The higher the score on the Glasgow Coma Scale, the better it is for the patient. Three areas are assessed: the eye-opening response, verbal response, and motor response. Each area is scored individually, and the scores are added together to determine the total GCS score.

Central stimuli and peripheral stimuli are used during a Glascow Goma Scale assessment. Central stimuli can include the trapezius squeeze or supraorbital pressure. An example of a peripheral stimulus would include pressing on the nail bed.
