Athletic Field Tech.com News: Sports Injuries are a great Concern!
The medical advisory committee recommendation that the Lincoln School District provide more training on how to stabilize and treat injured athletes is an intelligent and informed approach to reducing risk.The committee's recommendation came after a study prompted by a head injury sustained by Lincoln East High School football player Brady Beran during a varsity football game last year.Coaches, athletic directors and athletic trainers in high-risk activities at all team levels, fields, gyms and practices would be trained in how to assess injuries and how to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.That means that in most instances an ambulance could be summoned to the scene by the time the athlete was ready for transport.The plan would provide broader and more complete assistance than simply stationing ambulances at varsity football games.In the 2002-03 school year, four high school basketball players died as an indirect result of their participation in the sport.The committee's recommendations already are being implemented, but the Lincoln School Board is continuing to discuss the possibility of stationing ambulances at football games.
