Medical Conditions - Severity Of Head Injury

The Glasgow coma scale determines the severity of the head injury. For example, patients who have spontaneous eye movements, orientation to the environment, and follow the commands get 15 points. In contrast, flaccid patients with no eye-opening or speech are given a minimum score of three points. A value of 8 or less indicates comatose condition and severe head injury, 9 to 12 represents moderate head injury, and 13 to 15 symbolizes mild injury.
