0 = Alert and calm
-1 = Drowsy (>10 secs awakening, eye contact to voice)
-2 = Light sedation (<10 secs awakening with eye contact to voice)
-3 = Moderate sedation (movement but no eye contact to voice)
-4 = Deep sedation (no response to voice, movement to physical stimulation)
-5 = Unarousable (no response to voice or physical stimulation)

28
Q

How to test Cerebellar Function?

A

Rapid alternating movements.
E.g. “touch my finger then touch your nose” repeatedly on R and L side.
E.g. heel to shin (slide down to ankle) repeatedly, R and then L

29
Q

What is a negative and positive Babinski’s sign and what does a positive indicate?

Q

What is the Hunt Hess Scale and what is it used for?

A

Classification of patients with intracranial aneurysms according to surgical risk
