Jeremy Gazelle is the director of football rehabilitation at University of Alabama. He is not only in charge of rehabilitation, but he also works in coordinating the EAPs as well.
03:36
The topic of concussion management is something that is kind of an up and coming topic. The interesting twist on this is is is kinda utilizing the tent. The tent is the main focus of this this conversation and how we utilize it on the sideline.
06:42
The 6th international consensus statement is about to come out. There's no real hard and fast. You know, this is how it needs to be done. It's more, you know, we're recommending this and that. Most of the similarities are in the recognition, the education, stuff like that.
09:56
The NFL Players Association has a plan for return to play. It's less than a year old. The NCAA doesn't necessarily have a recommendation or a best practice.
13:40
All the 50 states in in the United States have a law on the books. But the laws very, very wild widely. South Carolina and Arizona allow same day return to play.
16:47
1 to 1,800,000 sport related concussions per year Approximately 400 of those are in high schools alone. The guidelines and the recommendations, they change, and they're gonna change again.
20:03
Alabama has put a lot of time and effort into how we manage our our sport related concussions. Right now, it's in 3 phases. We have a baseline testing phase. And then once they're technically cleared by our physician to return to play, they're not just thrown to the wolves.
23:38
We're gonna we're gonna start with just simple serial, simple checks. Nutrition, supplemental considerations are huge for us. We're gonna do some type of non-football related progression progressive exertional exercise type thing.
27:16
The tent was created by Jeff Allen in the the engine College of Engineering here, and it started as a senior project. The problem was there was a lack of sideline medical confidentiality.
30:34
SCC has a portable X-ray machine now. We can do x rays in this tent. Normally, we'd have to take somebody in. As far as a football game, that is that is unbelievable about how how much that changes our time frame.
33:43
The NFL is using a tent on the sidelines to help with head injuries. The tent allows for a more expeditious process, and a physician can still monitor the sideline.
36:53
The biggest argument that was had there was was did they do this the right way, and I'm not here to say they did it. They didn't. That's one thing I try really, really hard not to do is I was not on that sideline. So we have to get this right.
40:04
"We're gonna make sure that we're doing these the right way because Somebody's life is potentially at risk there" "It's the head, the heat, in the heart. Those are nonnegotiable. There's a there's a no go every time"
43:12
The NFL has a 3-stage concussion testing protocol. The first step is to diagnose a concussion. The second stage is a regular confession. The third stage is further testing. The 6th international consensus statement is coming out soon.
46:34
Be consistent. Have a good management plan, make sure it's consistent with the current machinations, and and don't overcomplicate. Evaluate your sideline. Make sure that you have a sideline situation that's conductive or conducive to a quality effective quiet.
49:47
If you like to, ask your question in person on the on on the call or exit on your audio. Just hit a thumbs up, and I'll I'll add you I'll grant you audio access and get you on here. Let's go ahead and get to some of the questions.
53:41
We haven't had any complications for flying when we do have somebody with concussion to to knock on wood to this point. But I'd be interested to see that research as well and see if there is some validity to that. But for us, we have not seen that. Okay. Here's another one in the give me a a minute to read this.
57:28
We we have not, and, you know, I hate that that, in my personal opinion, we're we're such a overlitigious society as it is. I think one is doing doing your best. And if they know you care and you do the things that show you care, those things would work out.
1:01:01
If someone took a ball to the face and they have a small headache, but no other concussion symptoms, are you still ruling it as a concussion and pulling them? That's a that's a you know, that that first slide that I I showed you, you know,. that eight year old kid. But in our situation, I'm I'm turning that over to the doctor.
1:04:29
There's there's a there's two folks here that are in our education department that are very involved in in concussion research. So if if that's something that could help us down the road or something we need to change to, I I at least wanna be, you know, versed in it and educated on it. So we'll look into that.
