EASY to Remember Glasgow Coma Scale

Learn More (Video Study Course): www.preparefor...
Glasgow Coma Scale or GCS is one the first major concepts taught to the new EMT student in EMT school. GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) is a scale that tells EMS and emergency medical services staff how critical a trauma patient may be.
The scoring system includes a verbal assessment, motor assessment and eye opening assessment. GCS can be added to your patient assessment exam that you will learn in EMT class.
Using my GCS mnemonic and breaking down each point level by level, rest assured that after watching this video you will have the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) down for life!

Is this separate from the NREMT package??

[@KnightzWon]

My instructor would always teach - an Extra Value Meal costs $4.56. That helped me learn it.

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@champlookid1804]

Thank u

[@becky2235]

Sorry can you explain? Thanks!

[@KnightzWon]

@@becky2235 GCS stands for Eyes, Verbal, & Motor Responce. Eyes has 4 points, Verbal has 5 points, and Motor has 6 points. Using this just helps remember the EVM and the 456 for the order.

Good video, brother. Street medic approximately 25 years and shared your video with a new emt student. Thank You.

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Much appreciated!

[@ThatBlackGuy1337]

Thanks for making these videos man, really helpful stuff. I remember in my first responder class them teaching us the difference between the flexion and extension part. They said flexion is like a really intense rigid form of withdrawing, where as extension is the opposite, which means somethings REALLY wrong with the patient. Thats kinda how I remember which ones more severe.

[@godlover15t]

I took my class in December and it was super hard. I feel like I learned nothing and just barely passed. It was one hour a week. And the rest they told u to read the book. I don't learn that way. It kinda made me discouraged. And made me feel to stupid to even try. So it's now March and I've yet to take the nremt. But I'm hoping studying your videos will give me the confidence to take it. My goal is take the test by the end of the month. Thank you for these. I'm already a member with ur program. I just need some confidence and drive to do it.

[@TheParamedicCoach]

You can do this, trust me you are not alone and exactly why I created the Video Vault program, happy to hear you took action on the course and look forward to your success, always a message away in the group.

Just wanted to note, at 7:56 you circled abnormal flexion and called it de-crebral (when it's actually decorticate) when you meant to circle abnormal extension and say de-cerebral posturing for that one!

hello sir! I just got hired as an EMT-B with AMR out of San Diego. I have a IFT shift tomorrow with an FTO and we will most likely be running a CCT unit most of the shifts. and I'm wondering any tips you may have first day on the job? I'm pretty nervous but very excited, after I see things a couple times as a "street EMT" I think I will get the hang of things pretty fast. Never had any patient care or experience before and just don't quite know what to except. Thank you! :)

[@tylercannizzaro9093]

Rts score ?

[@MoreUkesLessNukes]

How would you calculate a GCS for someone who is mute and/or deaf (either bc of a vocal cord / auditory / other disability, or someone with autism for example) if they still have language abilities in writing or sign language but just not verbally? (or also for folks with less language ability overall?) Are there alternative methods for assessing & scoring the verbal section in those cases? (similarly, if someone is blind and doesn’t normally have their eyes open, does this change the visual section?)

[@DatBoiDoinStuff]

*giving report on the radio* "Patient GCS is 9" "how did you get 9" "Our guidlines app has a GCS chart" "Copy, level blah blah blah"

[@patricklarsson2372]

How often do you use this in day-to-day operations? This sounds like a really technical thing in theory that doesn't do much for you in practice. Not saying it isn't useful in certain situations. Any feedback?

Why did the video vault go from 49 dollars to 97 dollars?

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Hey, look forward to your success with the Video Vault. If you are watching an older video, that is when the course had only 180 videos and less content tabs/sections. Today it has over 420 videos and access to the community group to ask questions. Thus the price increase, it is still lifetime access. FYI, once you are in the course and sign up you get all updates for life. www.prepareforems.com

i saw a sample scenario that said a patient pulled their arms in but pointed their toes in response to pain. would that be considered a 2 or a 3 under motor? or in general if the patient shows two or more of the same signs within a category to you give them the higher point or the lower point?

So question, where would garbled speech go? Would you classify that as "sounds not words?"

I would say yes, but I'm not an expert so don't quote me on it. Unintelligible words aren't words at all. That's probably a safe rule of thumb.
