*Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale* **Intended Use** The pediatric GCS adapts the verbal and motor responses for infants and preverbal children, typically under 2 years of age — assess older children with the standard GCS. Report the three components alongside the total (e.g. E3 V4 M5 = 12). If a component cannot be tested, leave it unselected: it is reported as NT (not testable) rather than scoring 1, adds nothing to the total, and the severity is not graded. **Source** James HE.
