What does a 4 on the Glasgow coma scale indicate?
The Glasgow Coma Scale is a method of quantifying neurological dis-impairment by assigning values to eye actions, verbal responses, and motor skills. Possible values range from 15 (alert and unimpaired) to 3 (deep coma or death). A Glasgow of 4 is indicative of significant coma or neurological impairment.
Do you have a pulse in a coma?
If coma patients didn't have a pulse, I'm pretty sure they'd be dead patients.
At what Glasgow coma scale score is it appropriate to intubate?
General rule is less than 8...that being said there are very few always and nevers in medicine. A 2009 study of 73 patients with Glasgow scale less than 12 (many less than 8) did not intubate and they did not aspirate. A better answer would be to thoroughly assess the patient including history if available when deciding whether to tube or not.
Do brain cells die when you receive an injury with Glasgow Coma Scale of 3?
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a tool medical professionals use to objectively evaluate the degree to which a person is conscious or comatose. Also referred to as the "Glasgow Coma Score," it operates on a scale of "3" to "15," in which progressively higher scores indicate higher levels of consciousness. For example, while a patient who is profoundly unconscious would receive a 3 according to the Glasgow Coma Scale, conscious, healthy adults would be rated at 15. Immediately after a head trauma, emergency doctors and nurses will use the Glasgow Coma Scale to assess a patient's condition. Others who use the GCS include intensive care staff, EMTs and chronic care professionals. If a person has a brain injury resulting in a GCS of 3, it is most likely that the person has suffered some amount of brain damage.
