| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.acvpu.v1 |
| Concept | ACVPU scale |
| Description | Simple scale used as part of an assessment to measure and record an individual's level of consciousness. |
| Use | Use to make a simple assessment of an individual's level of consciousness, especially suitable for assessment in emergency situations. This scale is a refinement of the original AVPU, updated in 2017 by adding 'C', where C represents 'a new onset or worsening confusion, delirium or any other altered mentation'. This scale is now published as a component of NEWS2. |
| Purpose | To record an individual's level of consciousness. |
