The accuracy of Glasgow coma scale Knowledge and Performance among Vietnamese nurses
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used as a tool to assess the level of consciousness in a brain injury patient. In this study, special attention was given to investigate the accuracy of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) knowledge and performance among Vietnamese nurses. On the basis of a nurse sample in CR …

A Novel Exo-Proteomic Approach to the Study of Traumatic Brain Injury
… subjective measures of consciousness such as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, are insufficient to properly diagnose the full spectrum of head injuries. Assessment of injury severity and outcome are further complicated by the vast array of symptoms, many of which mimic those displayed by other …
