Description

Procedure

1

Observe patient. Is patient alert and calm (score 0)? Does patient have behavior that is consistent with rest-

lessness or agitation (score +1 to +4 using the criteria listed above, under Description)?

2If patient is not alert, in a loud speaking voice, state the patient’s name and direct the patient to open eyes

and look at speaker. Repeat once if necessary. Can prompt patient to continue looking at speaker. Patient has

eye opening and eye contact, which is sustained for more than 10 seconds (score βˆ’1). Patient has eye opening

and eye contact, but this is not sustained for 10 seconds (score βˆ’2). Patient has any movement in response to

voice, excluding eye contact (score βˆ’3).

3

If patient does not respond to voice, physically stimulate patient by shaking shoulder and then rubbing ster-

num if there is no response to shaking shoulder. Patient has any movement to physical stimulation (score

βˆ’4). Patient has no response to voice or physical stimulation (score βˆ’5).
