    The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to assess a person's level of consciousness after brain injury and provides criteria for evaluating eye opening, verbal response, and motor response on a scale of 1 to 15. Higher scores indicate higher consciousness with 4 being the best for eye opening, 5 for verbal response like being oriented, and 6 for motor response like obeying commands. A total score of 13-15 means mild coma, 9-12 is moderate, and 3-8 is deep coma.
