37. AVPU To rapidly evaluate cerebral cortex function, use the AVPU Pediatric Response Scale. The child does not respond to any stimulus. Unresponsive U The child responds only to a painful stimulus, such as pinching the nail bed. Painful P The child responds only when the parents or you call the child’s name or speak loudly. Voice V The child is awake, active, and appropriately responsive to parents and external stimuli. “Appropriate response” is assessed in terms of the anticipated response based on the child’s age and the setting or situation. Alert A
38. GSC Scoring 3-15 Total score 1 None None None 2 Decerebrate posturing (abnormal extension) in response to pain Extension in response to pain Extensor Response 3 Decorticate posturing (abnormal flexion) in response to pain Flexion in response to pain Abnormal flexion 4 Withdraws in response to pain Withdraws in response to pain Withdraws 5 Withdraws in response to touch Localizes painful Stimulus Localizes 6 Moves spontaneously and purposely Obeys commands Obeys Best motor response † Coded Value Infant Child Adult Response
