Abstract

ABSTRACT Background statement Accurate completion of a Neurological Assessment including the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is of the upmost importance in identifying and escalating neurological deterioration. This assessment must be standardised to ensure patient safety and quality care. Aim This paper aims to review the standardisation of the GCS inclusive of a comprehensive Neurological Assessment in metropolitan hospitals in Australia. Existing literature on this tool in clinical practice, will be further explored in this review. It will primarily focus on efficacy, standardisation and accuracy of completing a Neurological Assessment on an Adult. Methods A comprehensive review of the topic was undertaken, to reveal literature that supports the aim of this paper. Medline and Embase were accessed, with the use of Boolean operators to ensure literature met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Five articles were selected as appropriate and relevant to meet the needs and expectations of this review. Research suggests inconsistency and validity of the tool, which may affect patient safety.
神经学评估:实践回顾
背景:准确完成包括格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)在内的神经系统评估对于识别和升级神经系统恶化至关重要。这种评估必须标准化,以确保患者安全和优质护理。目的:本文旨在回顾澳大利亚大城市医院GCS的标准化,包括全面的神经学评估。关于该工具在临床实践中的现有文献,将在本综述中进一步探讨。它将主要关注完成成人神经学评估的有效性、标准化和准确性。方法对该主题进行全面的回顾,以揭示支持本文目的的文献。访问Medline和Embase,使用布尔运算符确保文献符合纳入和排除标准。结果选择了5篇合适且相关的文章,以满足本综述的需要和期望。研究表明,该工具的不一致性和有效性可能影响患者的安全。
