Am i the only one who thinks he looks like mo vlogs 😳
Really could have improved this video by doing it in a systematic fashion. For example: Eyes: talk through different ranges of score from least severe to most severe (4 –> 1) and then have filmed examples of each. Instead you’re just kinda dotting in and out of each section, without really emphasising the most important aspect, which is accurately relaying what you’ve assessed and communicating that as a numerical score.
Appreciate the effort, but not really good study material for medics.
Thank you…really appreciate the NT part, I think we usually give 1 in many situations that we should have assessed as NT….quite an educative video.
it was very informative as I have photographic memory
Thanks… Very nice video
Why is elbow extension a bad sign?
Well done 👏🏼👏🏼
so what ıs my score?
The grading though…. For example, abnormal flexion is graded what?
Great 👍
❤
omg amazing. thank you so much!
I want to know what the numbers when do you give a 14 or a zero etc
thank you. before i didn’t know well how to assess motor response but now. I got it
You are not only educating the medical fraternity, but it also is a great piece of information for non-medical individuals. I enjoyed it thoroughly and helps me to understand what happens in the EM department here on. Thank you so much for your video!
1 😂
Very useful! Thank u very much!
So how do you test a patient who is intubated, has swollen eyes and is paralyzed?
Really well done, nicely explained, and nicely demonstrated GCS evaluation. Congrats! The British accent was a really good touch as well….you sound so damn smart
I am so happy to have found your channel. Thank you very much for this useful video.
Very useful and simple to understand thank you
I scored 4 once
This is quite an amazing video. It is very helpful.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent presentation 👏
Hi, my daughter has severe learning difficulties, CVI, non-verbal and unusual responses to pain. Does this render the GCS as worthless? How would you recognise her issues without someone who knows her well being present?
Tnx…really helpful

I PRAY FOR THOSE WHO GO THROUGH THIS ILLNESS THAT THEY BE SAVED, HEALED, AND LOVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD MAY THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND LOVED ONES BE BLESSED AND STAY POSITIVE AND KNOW THAT GOD WORKS GOD BLESS THEM ALL🤍🙏🏾.
Dude you’re not saying the score for each component. Worthless
I had a cardiac arrest in january and had a GCS of 5 when paramedics got to me.. It really is amazing what they can do with someone whos in such a bad way.
Thank you, it is very helpful!
THANK YOUUU
Unless you know the patients name then asking their name isn’t the best question you could ask. I’d suggest asking them where they are and why, and season and year
I used to confused this scale hmmm , now I can attempt any questions on this
i just had neurology practical earlier today, how is this on my yt recommendation? sksks are they spying on me :))
love it
I have been trying to by heart this from long time, you just made this easy for me.
Very helpful demonstration .. you could cover how to assign scores accordingly too..that’d make this a complete and THE BEST video on GCS on YouTube 🙂
What about a paralyzed man, who’s intubated, and recovering from a particularly horrendous wasp attack? That’s just NT across the board.
what is consciousness?
Excellent, many thanks.
Thanks a ton
i remember waking up in the ICU, i was in a coma for 4 days. it’s pretty interesting info thank you.
Awesome job, just missing the scoring part and stagings for deficits. If possible, please include them in this video. thanks
Half of his words r not understanding bcoz of his accent but its ok,👍
SO WHERE IS YOUR EXPLANATION ABOUT WITHDRAWS TO PAIN UNDER MOTOR? Tsk tsk tsk
Hello, Can you please explain the difference on examination / clinically the between normal flexion and abnormal flexion again? Thank you.
thank you so much. it helped immensily
Can I ask a question?
If first responders are allowed to use GCS?
Thank you 😊
