Glasgow Coma Scale at 40 | The new approach to Glasgow Coma Scale assessment

The Glasgow Coma Scale provides a practical method for assessment of impairment of conscious level in response to defined stimuli.

This video shows the new approach to the assessment of the Glasgow Coma Scale.

"Forty years since it was first described, the GCS has become an integral part of clinical practice and research across the World. We have now devised a new structured approach to assessment of the GCS to improve the accuracy, reliability and communication of the GCS. "
- Sir Graham Teasdale

Clearly explains exactly how to perform this examination without using complex terminology; exceptionally clean cinematography is exceptionally helpful. This video seems accepting of the chance some may be distressed while trying to view and understand the GCS. Thank you.

Excellent video - good to have a single resource to refer to as every doctor seems to do it differently.

I had the pleasure of working for the Royal College Of Physicians And Surgeons of Glasgow and Sir Graham was our president at the time. I also had the pleasure of working with Sir Graham on the Wedding of one of his sons in the College Hall which turned out to be a very successful day and night and Sir Graham couldn't thank me enough. He was our President for 3 years and his successor was Dr Brian Willams who was another very nice President to work for

Perfect and effective way to  learn ...tracheostomy seems mistaken for ET tube...
* supraorbital notch stimulation I read that it might encourage grimace and may not get pt to open eyes..

Wonderful to have Graham Teasdale introduce this clip. An excellent explanation (of course) but I would love to have additional explanation provided in terms of noting when a patient responds to Shout & SHAKE, as opposed to requiring 'pressure' stimulus; and to have the use of assessing limb strength explained in addition to best motor response. I find it can get messy with critically ill patients who may exhibit normal flexion response and then limb strength is assessed without a purposeful movement.
