6 Elements of G C S: т т тeт тт тaттшт G C S is composed of three components : Eye response Verbal response Motor response Each of these components further have scores. т т тeт тт ттттт к : - ткттa тт ттттт - ттттк ттттт - тштт ттттт ти тoтктктктк ттттк тттт тттктттт. Let s see what are the sub-components тå тттттa тiттт т т т ISNACC Training Program 6

7 Eye response (E) : 4 score ткттт ттттт (ти ) : 4 тткт There are four points. Starting with the best to the most severe, they are: Eyes opening spontaneously (4 points) Eye opening to speech (3 points) Eye opening in response to pain stimulus (2 points) 'ттт' ттт 'тт тт' тттк ттт ттттaт тт т ттт.. тктт тттт ттт тттaт (4 ттттaт ). тт т тктт ттт тттaт(3 ттттaт ). ттттк тттттт тктт ттт тттaт (2 ттттaт ). тктт тттттк тттaт(1 ттттa) No eye opening (1 point) ISNACC Training Program 7
