SPORTS MEDICINE: CONCUSSION • A high school athlete should NEVER return to play on the day they suffer a concussion • Returning an athlete to play before complete resolution of symptoms can lead to recurrent concussion, prolonged post-concussion symptoms, OR even ‘Second Impact Syndrome’ (which is often fatal) • NEW NHSCAA Rule : An athlete with suspected concussion cannot return to play until he/she is cleared by a licensed medical physician • Managing concussions is difficult even for well-trained and experienced medical providers.
SPORTS MEDICINE: CONCUSSIONS Take home point: At the end of the day, it’s not an athlete’s knee, ankle, or elbow… it’s his or her brain and you cannot get this one wrong. • “WHEN IN DOUBT, SIT THEM OUT.”
SPORTS MEDICINE: NECK INJURIES • Cervical spine injuries are typically caused by contact with a forward flexed neck • ‘spearing’ position • Any numbness/tingling in BOTH arms is suspicious for a cervical spine injury • a ‘stinger’ never causes burning in both arms Take Home Point: Any suspected cervical spine injury should be immobilized and evaluated by medical personnel
SPORTS MEDICINE: HEART ISSUES There are red flags which can tip us off to undiagnosed heart problems • Chest pain with exertion • Passing out/fainting from exertion – this is not normal or due to being ‘out of shape’ • Family history of a sudden cardiac death or unexplained death before age 50 Take home point: Any athlete who passes out or has chest pain with exertion needs a medical evaluation
SPORTS MEDICINE:RESPIRATORY ISSUES/ASTHMA • Asthma attacks remain a leading cause of death among young people • Be aware of common asthma triggers: • Respiratory infections • Both extreme heat/humidity and cold/dry • Pollen & other allergens Take home point: Know who your asthmatic athletes are & make sure they have accessible inhalers
SPORTS MEDICINE: HEAT ILLNESS • Death from heat illness is preventable • Hydration is only one part of the solution • Know who is at increased risk • Obese, out of shape athletes • Athletes with fever or recent stomach or respiratory infections • Athletes with sickle cell trait • Athletes with history of prior heat illness • Athletes on illicit drugs, ADD meds, or supplements w/ stimulants
SPORTS MEDICINE: SKIN INFECTIONS • Skin infections are common in contact sports • Most skin infections are relatively minor and self-limited • Resistant staph infections (MRSA) have become quite common and can be severe • Skin infections are spread by skin-to-skin contact, sharing pads/equipment/work-out gear, dirty equipment • Any boil or abscess needs medical evaluation
SPORTS MEDICINE: SKIN INFECTIONS Take home point: the vast majority of skin infections can be prevented by good hygiene • Shower right after every practice & game • Do not share equipment, pads, work-out clothes, towels, etc • Wash hands frequently with soap/water or anti-bacterial towels/gels • Wash equipment, mats, clothes, towels, etc regularly
