CONCUSSION INFORMATION SIGNATURE SHEET

Athletes with the signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. Continuing to play with the signs and symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury. There is an increased risk of significant damage from a concussion for a period of time after that concussion occurs, particularly if the athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one. This can lead to prolonged recovery, or even to severe brain swelling (second impact syndrome) with devastating fatal consequences. It is well known that adolescent or teenage athlete will often under report symptoms of injuries; and concussions are no different. As a result, education of administrators, coaches, parents, and students is the key for student-athlete’s safety.

If you think your child has suffered a concussion
Any athlete eve suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the game or practice immediately. No athlete may return to activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems for how quickly symptoms clear, without medical clearance. Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. The new “Zackery Lysedt Law” in Washington now requires the consistent and uniform implementation of long and well-established return to play concussion guidelines that have been recommended for several years:

“a youth athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury
in a practice or game shall be removed from competition at that time.”

“...may note return to play until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed health
care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussion and received written clearance to return to play from that health care provider. “

You should also inform your child’s coach if you think that your child may have a concussion. Remember it’s better to miss one game than miss the whole season. And when in doubt, the athlete sits out. For current and up=to=date information on concussions you can go to http:www.cdc.gov/ConcussionInYouthSports/



What is sudden cardiac arrest?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the sudden onset of an abnormal and lethal heart rhythm, causing the heart to stop beating and the individual to collapse. SCA is the leading cause of death in the U.S. afflicting over 300,000 individuals per year. SCA is also the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes during sports
What causes sudden cardiac arrest? SCA in young athletes is usually caused by a structural or electrical disorder of the heart. Many of these conditions are inherited (genetic) and can develop as an adolescent or young adult. SCA is more likely during exercise or physical activity, placing student-athletes with undiagnosed heart conditions at greater risk. SCA also can occur from a direct blow to the chest by a firm projectile (baseball, softball, lacrosse ball, or hockey puck) or by chest contact from another player (called "commotio cordis"). While a heart condition may have no warning signs, some young athletes may have symptoms but neglect to tell an adult.

If any of the following symptoms are present, a cardiac evaluation by a physician is recommended:
Passing out during exercise
Chest pain with exercise
Excessive shortness of breath with exercise
Palpitations (heart racing for no reason)
Unexplained seizures
A family member with early onset heart disease or sudden death from a heart condition before the age of 40

How to prevent and treat sudden cardiac arrest? Some heart conditions at risk for SCA can be detected by a thorough heart screening evaluation. However, all schools and teams should be prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. Young athletes who suffer SCA are collapsed and unresponsive and may appear to have brief seizure-like activity or abnormal breathing (gasping). SCA can be effectively treated by immediate recognition, prompt CPR, and quick access to a defibrillator (AED). AEDs are safe, portable devices that read and analyze the heart rhythm and provide an electric shock (if necessary) to restore a normal heart rhythm.
