Pre-hospital GCS scores are used to make critical patient care decisions and to fill in gaps in hospital-based TBI surveillance, but they may not be accurate.
To determine the relationship between pre-hospital (EMS-GCS) and emergency physician GCS scores (ED-GCS).
Prospective observational study of 60 TBI patients with a field GCS of 8-13 and age > 18. ED-GCS, EMS-GCS, time of GCS and vitals signs were recorded.
Simple and multiple linear regression.
The median EMS-GCS was 13 and that for ED-GCS was 15. There was a significant linear relationship between ED-GCS and EMS-GCS (r = 0.45, p = 0.003). There was improvement in the prediction of ED-GCS when alcohol/drug use and age (but not time) were added to EMS-GCS.
EMS-GCS is usually two points lower than ED-GCS, but the correlation between them is strong and independent of the time between score determinations. These results could prevent unnecessary procedures based on the EMS-GCS and improve the accuracy of TBI surveillance.
院前格拉斯哥昏迷评分(GCS)用于做出关键的患者护理决策,并填补基于医院的创伤性脑损伤(TBI)监测中的空白,但它们可能并不准确。
确定院前(急救医疗服务GCS,EMS-GCS)与急诊医生GCS评分(急诊室GCS,ED-GCS)之间的关系。
对60例现场GCS评分为8 - 13且年龄大于18岁的TBI患者进行前瞻性观察研究。记录ED-GCS、EMS-GCS、GCS评分时间和生命体征。
简单和多元线性回归。
EMS-GCS的中位数为13,ED-GCS的中位数为15。ED-GCS与EMS-GCS之间存在显著的线性关系(r = 0.45,p = 0.003)。当将酒精/药物使用情况和年龄(而非时间)加入到EMS-GCS中时,ED-GCS的预测有所改善。
EMS-GCS通常比ED-GCS低两分,但它们之间的相关性很强,且与两次评分测定之间的时间无关。这些结果可以避免基于EMS-GCS进行不必要的操作,并提高TBI监测的准确性。
