Neurological Assessment and GCS

What is this article about?

Symptoms of neurological changes often vary but may include sensory changes, motor changes, reflex changes, altered awareness and/or personality, altered level of consciousness and headaches. Neurological observations collect data on a patient’s neurological status and can be used for many reasons, including in order to help with diagnosis, as a baseline observation, following a neurosurgical procedure, and following trauma. Therefore, it is important that all healthcare professionals are efficient and accurate in assessing the neurological status of their patients.
