abstract="The last twelve years history of coma scaling, i.e. reaction level scaling is reviewed. Examples are given of different Glasgow Coma Scale sum scores. The common use of these &quot;sum scores&quot;, aggregations of various features, may give an impression of corresponding conscious levels with different functions tested. A more direct approach with mention of varied responses in a reaction level scale may be more reliable and this is also possible to use in a neurological observation chart at bedside.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
