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.
