AOSSM Youth to the NFL Sports Medicine Course with CME-Injury Prevention and Sports Emergencies: Case-Based Panel Discussion

Injury Prevention and Sports Emergencies: Case-Based Panel Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses three different cases involving on-field injuries. In the first case, a player collapses on the bench and the medical staff rush to assess and assist him. The importance of having an emergency plan, including access to an AED and knowing how to use it, is emphasized. The second case involves a player experiencing shortness of breath and abdominal pain. The panel discusses the need for a thorough evaluation, considering both trauma-induced causes and other potential factors. In the third case, a player complains of dizziness and abdominal pain. The difficulty in diagnosing intra-abdominal trauma is highlighted, and the importance of a collaborative approach between medical staff, including orthopedic surgeons, primary care doctors, and athletic trainers, is emphasized. The panel also discusses the need for serial evaluations and the importance of close surveillance when a potential injury is not immediately apparent. The session ends with information about an upcoming symposium on legal considerations in sports medicine.
