Here we have to observe the Glasgow Coma Scale, by this we can asses the patient condition.GCS was initially used to assess level of consciousness after head injury, and the scale is now used by first aid, EMS, nurses and doctors as being applicable to all acute medical and trauma patients.
ndividual elements as well as the sum of the score are important. Hence, the score is expressed in the form "GCS 9 = E2 V4 M3 at 07:35".
Generally, brain injury is classified as:
Severe, with GCS
Moderate, GCS 8 or 9–12 (controversial)[4]
Minor, GCS ≥ 13.
