1st change seen when neuro status compromised

change in level of consciousness

LOC level of consciousness

measurement of a person's arousability and responsiveness to stimuli from the environment

Change in LOC may indicate...

CNS pathology, cerebral ischemia, increased intracranial pressure (ICP)

List 6 LOC

full, confusion, lethargy, obtundation, stupor, coma

confusion

disoriented to time, place, or person

lethargy

oriented x 3 but sluggish speech, slowed mental process, or motor abilities

obtudation

less than full mental capacity, arousable with stimulation, respond with 1-2 words, follow simple commands

stupor

minimal spontaneous movement, unresponsive except to vigorous stimulation, respond with eye opening and incomprehensible sound

coma

sleeplike state with eyes closed, no verbal response

GCS define and range

objective assessment of LOC in acute and critical care (3-15)

GCS Motor Scale range

6-1

GCS motor 6 =

can obey simple commands

GCS Motor 5=

localizes to painful stimuli (pushes stimuli away or says oww)

GCS Motor 4

Flexion/ withdraws to painful stimuli (no antigravity)

GCS Motor 3

Decortication (come to core, abnormal posture)

GCS Motor 2

Decerberation (arms straight, extend to side) (sign of impending death)

GCS 1

no response

GCS eye range

4-1

GCS eye scale meaning

4 spontaneously, 3 to speech, 2 to pain, 1 no open

GCS Verbal Scale

5-1

GCS Verbal Scale meaning

5 oriented conversant, 4 confused disoriented conversant, 3 inappropriate disorganized words, 2 incomprehensible words or sounds, 1 no response

GCS score if: spontaneous eye opening, confused conversant, localizes to pain

13 good prognosis

GCS 13-15

mild brain injury

GCS 9-12

Moderate brain injury

GCS 3-8

Sever brain injury poor prognosis
