The patient makes some kind of response when you talk to them, which could be in any of the three component measures of eyes, voice or motor – e.g. patient's eyes open on being asked 'Are you OK?'. The response could be as little as a grunt, moan, or slight move of a limb when prompted by the voice of the rescuer. [from Wikipedia]

| | AVPUStatus | 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] |
