Talk:Glasgow Coma Scale

message: I was thinking of putting the written section describing the scores and responses into a table format.  Does anyone object?  If not, I'll go ahead in a few days or a week.  Then if there are any problems with it we can revert it or discuss it more.  Thanks, delldot | talk 03:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  question 

message: A major item is missing from this page it seems, is the TIMING use of this test. My friend is presently in coma, so I've done some reading and am no expert. But it seems that from the multiple www pages I've gone trough, this scale is valid 24 hours after injury only. Can someone address this? thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.8.180.182 (talk) 13:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It is named after the city of Glasgow.  As far as I know "Glascow" would simply be a spelling error, so I've undone your edit, but if you can provide some evidence that the alternate spelling is not just an error, I'm open to revisiting this.

thread_title: Glasgow or Glascow?

message: An IP editor recently added the following text: "It is also worth noting that GCS was originally described for trauma patients, and there is some conflicting evidence that a decreased GCS may not apply in the same way to all patients for example patients poisoned with alcohol, benzodiazepines etc in terms of need for intubation / airway protection. It is worthy of note that the GCS scale is non linear - a fall of one point in eye-opening spontaneously or to voice, is quite a different thing to a loss of one point in the motor component; from responding to commands vs responding only to pain. So a GCS of 14 means different things: poisoned patients more frequently have reductions in their eye opening and response to voice than they do to motor responses, and seem to have less frequent complications from falling GCS than do trauma patients."
This is of interest if true, but would need citation.  I haven't got time at the moment to chase it down, and i think it's better to leave out until cited, but if anyone else has a chance before me, then have a look. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 19:28, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article says "if a person obeys commands only on their right side, they get a 5 for motor". But the table says obeying commands equals a score of 6. Is the example wrong?
