Abstract

Abstract:

Patients once died from craniocerebral trauma and cerebrovascular event nowadays are probably survive thanks to the development of medicine, especially the Intensive care unit.Many of them suffer from disorder of consciousness in varying degrees during the recovery period of the injury.Some scales have been formulated to diagnose and to help assess the recovery of consciousness. The most commom Scales are GCS, FOUR, CRS-R, WHIM, SMART, etc.What advantages and disadvantages do these scales have and how to chose in clinical work? Here are some advices.

Key words: Disorders of consciousness, Vegetative state, Minimally conscious state, Coma scale
