I think this a little unnecessary |
|

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS PRETTY UNLIKELY IN ANY SITUATION WHERE ASSESSMENT IS LIKELY TO BE CARRIED OUT. So I agreed but not v strongly. |

although I’m surprised we need to say it! |

Paed ED |
Have seen GCS 3 recorded on neurosurgical ward in sleeping child as asleep and no attempt to rouse! |
|
Paed ED |
I am not convinced that this statement is necessary as surely this is a clinical distinction which has already been excluded before going on to suspect pathology. |
|
ED |
My recollection is that this is what was advocated in the original description of the GCS |
