چکیده
To determine how the AVPU (alert, verbal, painful, unresponsiveness) scale corresponds to Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), we compared the two scales. Two months to 12 years old patients were included in the study. The median GCS score (inter quartile range) for A/V/P/U were 14 (12-15), 11 (10-12), 6 (5.5-8) and 3 (3-4), respectively.

Methods: In this prospect...

INTRODUCTION The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the most widely used scoring system for comatose patients in intensive care. Limitations of the GCS include the impossibility to assess the verbal score in intubated or aphasic patients, and an inconsistent inter-rater reliability.
