Summary
The assessment of the level of consciousness in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) can be complicated because the variables that are evaluated can be interpreted in a different way by different observers.
The main objective is to determine interobserver agreement of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) among ICU nurses and assess whether professional experience change the results. Secondary objective: to determine interobserver agreement in each of the three components (motor response, verbal and eye opening) of the GCS
