Assessment Procedures

• On The Field– Primary Survey

• ABCs

• Bleeding/Shock

– Secondary Survey• Vitals

• Signs & Symptoms

Unconscious Athlete– Note Body Position– Determine level of consciousness– ABCs– Neck & Spine– Do not remove helmet (face mask o.k.– Establish Airway– If prone and no breathing, role over (supine)– If prone and breathing, do not role over– When consciousness gained, log roll to spine board– Maintain Vitals until EMS arrives– Athlete is stabilized, 2ndary survey

• External Bleeding– Direct Pressure– Elevation– Pressure points

• Brachial/Femoral

Shock

• Can occur with any injury

• Most likely in– severe bleeding– internal injury– fractures

• Definition– Not enough blood available to circulatory

system

– Dilation of blood vessels & imbalance of osmotic pressure

• Shock if untreated can cause DEATH

• Risky Conditions– extreme fatigue– extreme temperature– extreme dehydration– illness

Handling Shock

• Signs & Symptoms – Skin

• Moist, pale, cool, clammy skin

• Weak & rapid pulse

• Increased & shallow breathing

• decreased b.p.

• extreme thirst

• Treating Shock– Maintain body temperature– Elevate Feet

• Unless head & neck

– If psychogenic, do not allow athlete to see injury

– Do not over react, but confident & in control.

VITALS• Pulse

– 60-80 in adults– Account for activity– 80-100 in children

• Respiration– 12 in adults– 20-25 in children

• Blood Pressure• Temperature• Skin Color

• Blood Pressure– Systolic over diastolic– 120/80

• Temperature– 98.6

• Skin Color

• Pupils– shock, heatstroke, hemorrhage– stimulants

• State of Consciousness

• Movement– Head Injury– Stroke (cerebrovascular accident)– Abnormal Nerve Response

• Nerve damage

• blocked artery

• spinal cord injury

• head injury
