LO 1 COMPAREAND CONTRAST CONSCIOUSAND UNCONSCIOUS STA TES PRESENTED BY CHRISTOPHERWATANABE 1. 32-year-old male has been ice skating but has slipped on the ice and hit his head.He is unconscious in the initial assessment.His arm is abnormally flexed,and legs are internally rotated.The patient occasionally makes sounds like “arrrhh” and“mhhh” and does not open eye even when pinching their shoulder.Due to his low GCS he is undergoing intubated and ventilated by the anaesthetic team.Given the information above,what is his GCS score? A Five B Six C Seven D Eight Nine E 1. 32-year-old male has been ice skating but has slipped on the ice and hit his head.He is unconscious in the initial assessment.His arm is abnormally flexed,and legs are internally rotated.The patient occasionally makes sounds like “arrrhh” and“mhhh” and does not open eye even when pinching their shoulder.Due to his low GCS he is undergoing intubated and ventilated by the anaesthetic team.Given the information above,what is his GCS score?
