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) |
