What Does a Glasgow Coma Scale of 9 Indicate?
A pair of professors at the University of Glasgow developed the Glasgow Coma Scale in 1974. The scale was the first to provide doctors with a system to quickly assess the seriousness of brain and head trauma. Since the scale was published it has become the standard for assessing head injuries in most countries. A score of 9 on the scale can be a relief to the loved ones of those who have suffered head injuries.
