Emergency Action Plans
 A written document that details what actions are done
by whom in the case of an emergency
 Applies to medical emergencies, environmental
emergencies and anything else you want
 Lets everyone know who does what
 Common in many organizations

where groups of people gather

Caring for the downed
athlete

the athlete on the ground with the helmet on
 Support the head
 Apply direct pressure to any bleeding areas
 If the athlete is unresponsive, assess need for
CPR and attach AED
8/30/14

Injury recognition in youth
sports overview
Bruce Moseley, M.D.
Objectives
 Discuss how kids are different
 Describe some common injuries
 Discuss Treatment principles
 Return to play criteria for common injuries
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Kids are different!!!
 Bones are pliable
 Every bone has a growth plate
 Growing bones are susceptible to injuries.
 Ligaments commonly stronger than bones
 Immature brains heal slower than mature brains
 Kids dissipate heat more slowly
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Bones Grow from the Ends
 Growth plates at the wrist and ankles are most
commonly injured
 Every bone has a growth plate
 Point tenderness near the end of the bone raises
concern for bone injury
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Injury Treatment Principles
 Rest
 Immobilize anything that hurts at the end of a bone
 Ice
 First 2 days for most any injury
 Compression
 Ace wrap
 Elevation
 Higher than the heart.

Definitions

Injury Evaluation

 Pain is a defense that protects the body
 DO NOT disregard a players complaint of pain.
 Compare strength and range of motion with the
uninjured side.

8/30/14
IF the 2 sides are different, err on the side of caution
and don’t return to play until seen by physician or
symptoms clear
Houston Methodist

damaged

 Severe stomach pain after a
blow

Houston Methodist
Abrasions and Lacerations
 All bleeding stops
 It stops faster with direct pressure
 Remember to wear gloves.
 If the edges of the wound are apart without being
touched, it needs stitches

Concussion recognition and
management
Greg Seelhoefer, MD
Concussions
 A brief alteration in brain functioning caused by
trauma.
 Does not have to be a blow to the head
 Does not require a loss of consciousness.
 Imaging tests (CT scan, MRI) are normal
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Concussions
 Grading concussions does not help and can
make a serious injury seem mild
 Returning to play before symptoms have cleared
increases chances for recurrent concussion and
second impact syndrome
 No evidence protective gear (headgear,
mothgaurds) prevents concussions
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Concussions
 How do you know if someone has had a concussion?
 All based on symptoms

Dazed

Confused

Slow to respond

Dizzy

8/30/14  Unable to remember
Houston Methodist
Initial evaluation
 ABC
 Just say hi
 Consider C-spine injury in any athlete with a
head injury and altered level of consciousness or
any neck pain
 Ask them what happened
 IF they don’t remember, ask someone else
 Memory for the event may never return
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Assess Brain Function
 Orientation
 Who they are
 Where they are
 When they are
 Responsiveness
 Alert
 Groggy
 Pupils equal?
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
On the Field
 Ask if they have any neck pain
 Immobilize first, then ask
 Just use hands initially
 Ask them to move arms and leg
 Don’t move any extremity or body part for them.
 IF no neck pain, able to move all extremities and
answers questions well, allow them to stand
slowly and walk off the field with assistance
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
On the Sideline
 Continually reassess
 Repeat the questions you asked on the field.
 Take away his helmet
 If symptoms are worsening, send to the
emergency room
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
When to Return
 No child who gets a concussion should return to
play the same day.
 Nope not ever
 Very little research is done on children younger
than 12 with concussions
 We know high school age kids are more
susceptible and take longer to recover than
college or pro athletes
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
When can the Athlete
Return
 No symptoms at rest and with exertion
 Return to play slowly
 Jogging

The unconscious athlete
The Unconscious Athlete
 An unconscious athlete has an unstable neck
fracture until proven otherwise

 IF breathing and has a pulse

Stabilize the neck and do not move the patient.

Wait for EMS arrival
 If not breathing or no pulse
8/30/14

Log roll while stabilizing the neck

Heat Injuries
 Christian Schupp, MD
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Heat Injuries
 A completely preventable injury
 A very common injury
 Usually bothersome, but can be deadly
 3 different phases:
 Heat cramps
 Heat exhaustion
 Heat stroke
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Heat Cramps
 Dehydration causes localized electrolyte
problems
 Adequate hydration is usually preventative
 Can occur in any muscle, but most
common in the calf
 Stretch, ice and hydration are the keys to
successful treatment
 Muscles that are cramping are more
8/30/14
susceptible toHouston
tearsMethodist
/ strains
Heat Cramps:
Hydration
 Daily weights (pre- and post- exercise)
 Fluid replacement
 20-24 fluid ounces of water or sports drink for
every pound lost
 >5% weight loss = serious dehydration
 Urine color
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Heat Exhaustion
 More serious, but not life threatening
 Usually caused by volume loss from sweating
that is not replaced
 Body cannot maintain adequate blood flow to
brain, heart, kidneys
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Heat Exhaustion
 Symptoms
 Headache
 Nausea / vomiting
 Irritability
 Cool, clammy or hot and sweaty skin
 Muscle cramps
 Thirst
 Low blood pressure
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Heat Exhaustion
 Treatment
 Cool place
 Loosen clothes
 Fans, wet towels, Ice
 Elevate legs
 Encourage fluids

Electrolyte solutions are better absorbed.
 Acclimatize more slowly
8/30/14
 Return
to playMethodist
1-2 days, but should have a doctor’s note
Houston
Heat Stroke
 Rare
 Deadly
Korey Stringer
(1974-2001)
 Most common cause of death in the high school and
NCAA
 Body’s ability to regulate heat is gone
 Risk factors

Temp over 95 with 75% humidity

Can occur at much cooler temps
8/30/14  Out of shape

Symptoms of Heat Stroke
 Extreme body temperature
 Altered level of consciousness is key!

Irritability, incoherent, glassy stare, etc

Rapidly progresses to seizures and coma
 Definition = core temperature >104

Rectal temp is the only reliable source
8/30/14

Steve Bechler
(1979-2003)
Treatment of Heat Stroke
 MUST COOL THEM DOWN IMMEDIATELY
 Shade or air conditioning
 Remove clothes
 Ice to groin, arm pits
 Treat for shock by elevating the legs
 Nothing to drink
 Get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Nutrition principles for
adolescent athletes
 Christian Schupp, MD
Nutrition Basics
 Athletes need a balanced diet
 55-60% carbohydrates

Starches like breads

Fruits and vegetables

Most readily available fuel source
 No more than 30% fat

Fats contain more than twice as many calories per gram as
protein or carbs
 10-15% protein
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
What about protein
supplements?
 Not necessary and not helpful
 Bodies can use no more than about ½ gram per
pound
 100 lb boy can use about 35-40 grams of protein per
day
 Too much protein causes bowel trouble and
dehydration.
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Pre-Game Meals
 Pre-Game meals should be part of a sound
nutritional program and contain foods that are
well tolerated by the athletes.
 There is no particular food that will magically
give an athlete special energy, strength, or
endurance
8/30/14
Houston Methodist
Goals of a Pre-game Meal
 Provide adequate energy intake
 Allow for an empty stomach & upper bowel at
time of play
 Provide an optimal state of hydration
 Cause minimal upset of G.I. tract
 Provide familiar foods
8/30/14
