AbstractThe purpose of this project was to create a teaching module and evaluation tool for the prehospital assessment of patients with head injuries using the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) Score scale. The teaching module consisted of an overview of brain injury scales, general characteristics of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the FOUR Score, demonstrations of the FOUR Score, and evaluation of the teaching module by participants. Participants determined that the FOUR Score is a viable alternative to the GCS, but took longer time to assess patients. Development of a more rapidly obtained FOUR Score, called the EMBR, is one option that may make this a viable alternative to the GCS.
