In the TCF trauma systems we use a modified and simpler version of the RTS. We have replaced the Glasgow Coma Scale with a 5-ranked grading of consciousness level. Also the intervals for ranking of respiratory rate/RR and systolic blood pressure/BP is set differently from the US version of RTS:
Consciousness level | BP | RR | Coded value |
awake | > 90 | 10 – 24 | 4 |
confused | 70 – 90 | 25 – 35 | 3 |
Coma, responds to sound | 50 – 69 | > 35 | 2 |
Coma, responds to pain only | < 50 | < 10 | 1 |
No response | No carotic pulse | No breathing | 0 |
