The patient makes a response on any of the three component measures on the application of Pain stimulus, such as a central pain stimulus like a sternal rub or a peripheral stimulus such as squeezing the Fingers. A patient with some level of consciousness (a fully conscious patient would not require a pain stimulus) may respond by using their voice, moving their Eyes, or moving part of their body (including abnormal posturing).[from Wikipedia]

| | AVPU status | The AVPU scale (an acronym from 'alert, verbal, pain, unresponsive') is a system by which a health care professional can measure and record a patient's level of consciousness. It is mostly used in emergency medicine protocols, and within first aid. It is a simplification of the Glasgow Coma Scale, which assesses a patient response in three measures: eyes, voice and motor skills. The AVPU scale should be assessed using these three identifiable traits, looking for the best response of each [from Wikipedia] |
