RESUMO — A Escala de Nível Reativo (RLS85) é uma escala de coma de oito graus («range
scored») pana estimativa do nível de consciência de pacientes com acometimento agudo ence-
fálico. Sua aplicabilidade clínica e em pesquisa foi avaliada em estudo multicênirico e em
estudos de comparação a outras escalas de uso corrente. No presente texto, o manual ope-
racional da RLS85 é sumariado em português, sendo apresentada relação da bibliografia sobre
essa escala.
SUMMARY — The Reaction Level Scale (RLS85) is a range scored coma scale (8 levels) for
the assessment of responsiveness in patients with acute brain disorders. Its feasibility in
clinical pratice and for research studies has been verified in a multicentre study and by
comparison with other current coma scales. Range scoring and abscence of pseudoscoring are
its most significant advantages over the other current scales. An operative manual of the
RLS85 in Portuguese is standardized in this text which also provides a selected bibliography
on the subject.
KEY WORDS: brain, acute disorder, responsiveness, coma scale, Reaction Level Scale
RLS85.
