Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Glasgow Coma Scale Calculator
Score a patient's level of consciousness using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Used by clinicians to assess eye, verbal, and motor responses after head injury or altered mental status.
Glasgow Coma Scale
15 points
13-15 is mild impairment. The example of 15 is fully alert with normal eye, verbal, and motor responses (4+5+6).
Bands use the standard GCS severity classification for traumatic brain injury (scale 3-15), where lower scores indicate deeper impairment of consciousness.
Body Surface Area Calculator
Calculate body surface area (BSA) in m² using the Mosteller, Du Bois or Haycock formula from your weight and height. Clinicians use BSA to dose chemotherapy, normalise cardiac index and estimate burn coverage.
