GCS 3

David,

GCS= Glasgow coma scale.

In Spanish, though, I'd expect "CGE" (not "ECG to aovid confusion with "electrocardiogram"), but anyway, that's what they mean. Usually a grade 3 does not go with mydriasis, but the pt. was on propofol.

Good luck,

Elena


The **GCS** is the most widely used method of defining a patient's level of consciousness, and obviates use of ambiguous terminology such as lethargic, stuporous and obtunded. It is used routinely by medical personnel to objectively describe a patient's neurological status.
