TBI
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Level I | No Response |
| Level II | Generalized Response |
| Level III | Localized Response |
| Level IV | Confused-Agitated |
| Level V | Confused Inappropriate |
| Level VI | Confused-Appropriate |
| Level VII | Automatic Appropriate |
| Level VIII | Purposeful Appropriate |
| GCS-8 or less | coma |
| GCS-9 to 12 | moderate brain injuries |
| GCS-13 to 15 | mild brain injuries |
| No Response | deep sleep, unresponsive to stimuli |
| Generalized response | inconsistent and non-purposeful to stimuli in a nonspecific manner, limited responses, same reponse regardless of the stimuli |
| Localized response | reacts specifically but inconsistently to stimuli, responses directly related to the type of stimulus, may follow simple commands (eye closing, hand squeezing) in a delayed and inconsistent manner |
| Confused-Agitated | heightened state of activity, bizarre and non-puposeful behavior, does not discriminate among persons or objects, unable to cooperate directly with treatment efforts, gross attention to environment very brief, lacks short and long term recall |
| Confused-Inappropriate | Able to respond to simple commands, complex commands yield non-purposeful, random or fragmented responses, gross attention to environment, but highly distractable and lacks abiltiy to focus on a specific task, memory severely impaired |
| Confused-Appropriate | goal-directed behavior, follows simple directions, shows carryover for relearned tasks, memory problems, responses appropriate for situation |
| Automatic-Appropriate | Goes through daily routine automatically, but robot-like, minimal to no confusion, shallow recall of activities, carryover for new learned, but at a decreased rate, judgement remains impaired |
| Purposeful-Appropriate | Aware and reponsive to the environment, shows carryover for new learning, decreased abstract reasoning, tolerance for stress, and judgement |
