The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a crucial neurological assessment tool used by medical professionals to objectively measure a person's consciousness level. Our free online GCS Calculator helps you determine a patient's severity of injury or altered mental status based on eye-opening, verbal, and motor responses, providing a quick and accurate score.
Formula:
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is the sum of three component scores:
- E: Eye Opening Response (1-4)
- V: Verbal Response (1-5)
- M: Motor Response (1-6)
GCS Score = E + V + M
The total score ranges from 3 (deep unconsciousness) to 15 (fully awake).
