Is the GCS not as popular in America?
I seems like its rarely mentioned in scenarios presented here.
GCS is not popular in US EMS.
Not to beat a dead horse, but if you don't know what the findings mean because you haven't been taught anything about neuroscience, it can seem inconsequential.
I have seen many providers simlpy fill out the CGS retrospectively.
Even EMS physicians have written articles on how GCS was too "complex" for field use in the US and suggest the A&O classifications.
