Glasgow Coma Scale. A means of describing the severity of brain impairment. Can the individual respond verbally? Do the eyes open responsively? Is there a response when you speak the person's name, when you ask them to squeeze your hand, if you pinch their arm? Abbreviated GCS. The scale is from 3 (the lowest) to 15 (the highest). A score of 3 is a deep coma. A score of 15 is a very light coma with a much better prognosis.
