| Abstract Background: We performed the current study to find out if there is a correlation between the Bispectral index value and glasgow coma scale in isolated head trauma patients undergoing surgical intervention. Aim of the Study: Find out if bispectral index value correlate with Glasgow coma scale. Patients and Methods: A total of 40 patients who were admitted in emergency room with isolated head trauma glasgow coma scale and bispectral index readings were recorded at time of arrival, immediately post-operative, after 3 days and 2 weeks post admission. Results: We found that there was a strong correlation between glasgow coma scale and bispectral index readings. Correlation coefficient was 0.956 and p-value <-0.001. Conclusion: We conclude from this study that there is a strong correlation between glasgow coma scale and bispectral index readings. | ||||
