BOC Domains of Athletic Training:

• Domain II - Assessment, Evaluation and Diagnosis
• Domain III - Critical Incident Management
• Domain IV - Therapeutic Intervention

Course Description:

This course focuses on the crucial aspect of circulation assessment in emergency sports medicine. Participants will learn to accurately assess circulation, identify circulatory changes in unstable patients, and determine the most effective emergency interventions. The course covers a range of topics, including the identification of critical pulse points, understanding the implications of various pulse characteristics, and the importance of rapid and effective response to circulatory emergencies.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the importance of determining accurate measures of circulation.
2. Identify critical findings and appropriate emergency interventions related to circulatory changes in an unstable patient.

Clinical Practice Gap Statement:

There exists a gap in the systematic assessment and management of circulatory issues in sports-related emergencies. This gap often leads to delayed recognition and response to circulatory changes, impacting patient outcomes. This course aims to bridge this gap by enhancing athletic trainers' skills in circulatory assessment and intervention.

Clinical Bottom Line Statement:

Effective management of circulatory issues is essential in sports emergency care. Enhancing athletic trainers' ability to accurately assess circulation and implement timely interventions can significantly improve outcomes in circulatory emergencies.
