Ron Kors at University of Georgia, who will be this presenting this session this as his time. Ron is truly the the driving force in the sports medicine world related to emergency medical care. He has been world renowned in his work in Emergency Medicine.
03:58
American tackle football has the highest number of catch up and spot injuries among all the sports players in the United States. There can be some variability here based upon what the city you're at, what type of EMS response you have.
07:37
A 15 minute video put together in the University of Washington. It's really targeted to all healthcare providers, not just health trainers, EMS physicians, and something can be used from an educational standpoint of health training rooms.
11:03
There's a wide variety of variables that we had to be aware of. The first one is known in your state and your local protocols. The next one is really critical. It's a number of personnel assigned. And the last is seeing safety and seeing control.
14:28
The techniques we're gonna talk about are motor honing skills, and you can't not do them on a regular basis, expected to be proficient in how much time arise. Teamwork and communication. This is not the time to discuss inside on what we wanna do.
17:52
Before the game, health care providers get together and talk about what's our EAP. Sync Control. Circum spine in any situation or suspected spine injury, the first thing is cspine stabilization. If we're calm, everybody rest will remain calm.
21:09
When should protective equipment be removed? It has been removed on-site by the hospital ED, and there's not a right or wrong answer. We need to have access to airway prior to transport. The worst thing can happen is we decide to leave the equipment in place.
24:27
Athlete trainer may be the only one in the hospital familiar with that, take equipment off. So a couple of things we can resolve as number 1, we can take the kickoff and fill the play. We can take steps in advance to train people in the Hospital to know how to use equipment.
27:44
The first step is endless stabilization. As a young athlete trainer, I used to worry about having pro athlete because it does complicate things. From a negative standpoint, they're prone and they don't have as much access to their face.
30:58
Sports medicine team must work in a medical discretion, a medical direction. The big factor, number of skill out of the people of the sports medicine team. There are some techniques we can use to try to mitigate discomfort for prolonged mobilization.
34:17
The long rope and the multi person lift are the most common techniques. The multi person left has less circle motion. The logo technique is still by far the most company less maneuvering EMS.
37:37
The push techniques a little bit more efficient, it's easy to push athlete from a biomechanical standpoint. The advanced pull technique, if you're in a space confined situation like we have here where the ethic went down against the wall, this may be the only viable alternative.
40:56
Patients with a concomitant head and spine injury should be secured first. If I strap their head down first and get their body free, That's a potential move their spine. If it's not secure with my hands, we still work them on the side.
44:17
If we take the helmet off, the show pass is still alone, add the potential for the neck to drop back into extension position. If they go about extension, it closes the diamond, the spinal canal, and there's less space for the swelling to go. The multi person lift is affected technique if I had the programmatic rescuers there.
47:27
The elevator torso is one that was typically done for many years in the emergency room. The flat torso technique and the flat drag requires 2 different rescuers. The law rule requires multiple rescuers with the law rule.
50:28
Rescuers can use a modified tilt technique that we talked about for the elevate torso. The first thing step by step Step 1, we wanna recognize. activate e EAP if EMS is now assigned to 911, we treat my voice equipment.
53:48
I wanna cut my jersey shoulder pads in front to access chest. The ticket we talked about before. As soon as I spread the pads, I can start compresses right then. We can worry about the helmet and take it to pass off the other rescuers.
57:24
It has to be taken off. One thing to think about with the cross paths, they're they're much less constructed. They're not nearly as big in bulky shoulder pads.
1:00:42
Ron, are you aware of of a scoop structure wider than 17 inches, which is a standard from a ferno or as an example, or for a wider athlete? Right now, to my knowledge, they only have one size of your stretcher, and that's what the disadvantages with a with a large athlete, it's it's really difficult to use. So at this point, they really don't make an oversized script stretcher.
