    AbstractPaper reviews various coma scales which are used to monitor consciousness after sustaining severe injuries of CNS. Glasgow Coma Scale, at present the most frequently used, was compared to recently developed scales, which are more useful for monitoring persistent comas, allows to evaluate discrete changes in patient's state more precisely and to predict the outcome. The necessity of evoked potentials' measurements, such as Trigeminal-Auditory Glasgow (Coma Scale) has been stressed.
