The Glasgow Coma Scale: 50-year anniversary
摘要
In 1974, Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett wrote the “Assessment of coma and impaired consciousness, A practical scale,” which has become one of the most influential papers in the history of traumatic brain injury, with more than 10,000 citations as of January 2024. Today, it is one of the most widely used tools in emergency departments, providing a reliable general overview of the patient’s consciousness status.
