Abstract		Assessment of seriousness of patient's condition is of great importance especially in emergency medicine. Correct and effective treatment depends on it and most often determines the outcome. Various scoring system, developed all over the world, enable more relevant and comparable measurements and help physican to make the decision not only on subjective impression. Besides that, a comparison of standardized groups of patients becomes possible by using of scoring system. Three scoring systems, which have become to be used in emergency medical services in Slovenia, are presented in detail: Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Revised trauma score (RTS) and Mainz emergency evaluation score (MEES).
Summary		Ocenjevanje prizadetosti in ogroženosti bolnika je prav v urgentni medicini posebej pomembno. Od pravilne ocene je namreč odvisno ukrepanje, ki pogosto odloča o nadaljni usodi bolnika. Da ocena ne bi bila prepuščena le subjektivnemu zdravnikovemu vtisu, so po svetu razvili številne ocenjevalne lestvice, ki pomagajo objektivizirati prizadetost bolnika, hkrati pa omogočajo primerjavo rezultatov zdravljenja med posameznimi skupinami bolnikov, a tudi med posameznimi urgentnimi službami. Podrobneje so predstavljene tri ocenjevalne lestvice: Glasgowska lestvica kome (GCS), revidirana poškodbena lestvica (RTS) in ocenjevalna lestvica Mainz (MEES). Uporabljati jih pričenjamo tudi v Sloveniji.
