Abstract
Teasdale G (2014) Forty years on:
updating the Glasgow Coma Scale.
Nursing Times; 110: 42, 12-16.
Since the Glasgow Coma Scale was
developed 40 years ago it has been
accepted throughout the world as a
method for assessing impaired
consciousness. This article addresses the
variations in technique that have
developed since the scale was published.
The details of the composition of the scale
and its application are reviewed, and a
structured approach to assessment set
out. These provide a basis for
standardising practice and ensure the scales is useful, in a practical sense, in the future.
