The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a scoring system used to assess the level of consciousness of patients. The Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) is a modified version of GCS that is used specifically for evaluating infants and young children. Synonyms for the phrase "Paediatric Glasgow Coma Scale" include "Pediatric GCS", "Childhood GCS", and "Pediatric Neurological Assessment Scale". These terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same scoring system used for assessing consciousness in children. The PGCS is essential for detecting neurological problems, and healthcare providers often use it to inform decisions about treatment and to monitor patients' progress.
