SECTION II. Athletic Training Room Policies and Procedures

I. INTRODUCTION

Injuries are inherent in athletics. Even the most efficient program for theprevention of athletic injuries is not full proof. Injuries must be anticipated in any typeof sports activity, especially when it involves physical contact between student-athletes. Almost without exception every sport carries with it some degree of risk, the type andnature of the athletic injuries incurred being characteristic of the physical activity. Therefore, when an injury or illness does occur to a student-athlete participating in theintercollegiate athletic programs at SDSU, the following medical provisions andprocedures are available through the athletic health care program.

II. PREVENTION OF ATHLETIC INJURIES

A. Medical Examinations and History Reviews

Medical History Questionnaires: All student-athletes must complete a medical historyquestionnaire prior to participation. These forms should be updated at the first teammeeting of the year. Coaches should present a current roster to the athletic trainingstaff prior to this meeting. Someone from the sports medicine staff will be at the firstsquad meeting to assist with the questionnaires and answer questions.

Pre-participation Physicals:

Varsity Sports: As a freshman or transfer student, any individual who wishes toparticipate in varsity athletics at SDSU must have a pre-participation physicalexamination to determine that he/she is capable of being physically active, prior to thestart of organized team practices. The athletic health care team at SDSU will makeavailable times for this physical to take place. If the student-athlete fails to appear onthe scheduled date & time it will be the student-athletes responsibility to schedule anappointment with a physician or nurse practitioner to have the physical completed. Also, the cost of such an appointment will be the student-athlete’s responsibility. Theathletic health care team will review the information in confidentiality and reserves theright to refer the student-athlete for further evaluation or medically disqualify anindividual from play as necessary. Each year of participation thereafter, the athlete willbe required to fill out the above mentioned medical history questionnaire and/or informthe athletic health care team of any changes in health status. If a student-athlete joinsa team during the off-season and has never been a student-athlete they will also berequired to have a pre-participation physical. The athletic training staff reserves the rightto not allow the student-athlete to practice or compete until the physical is completed.

Addition: If a significant preexisting condition is noted by an athletic trainer orphysician, the injury will be recorded and referred as necessary for follow-up evaluation. SDSU will not be responsible for medical costs incurred at SDSU if they are related to aninjury received prior to participation at SDSU.

Medical Disqualifications: A student-athlete may present with a certain condition(s) thatmay limit or disqualify the student-athlete from competition. With the long term healthand well being of an the student-athlete in mind, the athletic health care team at SDSUreserves the right to limit or disqualify a student-athlete according to his/her condition.

If there is a concern, the athletic health care team will confer with the student-athlete,coach, parent(s) or guardian(s) and other members who may be of interest. Confidentiality will remain a priority.

Medical Waiver: A student-athlete with physical impairment, congenital anomalies,and/or absence or non-function of one of a set of paired organs will be required by theAHC team to sign a medical waiver form before athletic participation will be allowed. Thismedical waiver is to increase awareness to the individual, his/her parent(s) orguardian(s), and the SDSU athletic department that the student-athlete is at risk ifhe/she competes in an intercollegiate athletic program. It is a statement that will besigned and dated by the student-athlete, his/her parent(s) or guardian(s), team and/orattending physician, athletic director and head athletic trainer. It will explain thatparticipation in athletics is a shared responsibility by both parties (athletic departmentand student-athlete) and that injury could occur and cause permanent damage to theindividual. Special equipment required will also be addressed in the document.

B. Prevention of Athletic Injuries and the Coaching StaffPrevention of injuries is of prime concern for the athletic health care team. It is of

the utmost importance that both the athletic trainer and the coach communicateconstructively in regards to the prevention of injuries. The athletic training staff will workwith the coaches to reveal evidence of injury patterns, and training or game situationsthat may predispose the student-athlete(s) to injury.

III. CONSIDERATIONS FOR AIDS/BLOOD-BORNE PATHOGENS:

The SDSU athletic training staff recognizes that as athletic trainers - both student andstaff, we may be exposed to blood and other bodily substances.

III. SDSU Athletic Training Emergency Plan and Procedures

I. Introduction

Emergency situations may arise at anytime during athletic events or practice. Athleticorganizations have a duty to develop an emergency plan to be implemented whennecessary and to provide appropriate standards of health care to all student-athletes. Preparation is required to ensure that proper care will be given for any situation that mayarise. Preparation includes the formation of emergency plans, proper coverage forathletic competition and practice, maintenance of appropriate emergency equipment,and utilization of appropriate emergency medical personnel. Potential hazards can beavoided through pre-participation screenings, adequate medical coverage, and safepractice and training techniques.

There are 3 basic components of the Emergency Plan:

1. Emergency personnel2. Emergency communication3. Emergency equipment

Emergency Plan Personnel

During athletic competition and practice, the first individual to an emergency situationmay vary. This variation is due to the type and degree of sports medicine coveragevaries widely based on sport and activity, setting, type of training or competition, and in-season vs. out of season practice and competition. However, the first individual to anemergency situation is typically a member of the sports medicine staff, commonly thecertified athletic trainer or athletic training student(s). A team physician may or may notbe on site. If an individual from the athletic health care team is not immediatelyavailable, it is likely that the first individual to an emergency situation may be a coach orother institutional personnel. Therefore, certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) and first aid is required for all athletic personnel associated with practices, skillinstruction, and strength and conditioning.

An emergency team is another component of the emergency plan. This team mayconsist of a number of health care providers including physicians, emergency medicaltechnicians, certified athletic trainers, athletic training students, coaches, managers, andpossibly bystanders. There are four basic roles of within the emergency team.

(1) Immediate Care: The first is immediate care of the injured or ill student-athlete. The most qualified individual at the injury scene should provide acutecare and charge of the emergency.

(2) Equipment Retrieval: The second role, equipment retrieval, may be done byanyone on the emergency team who is familiar with the type of equipmentnecessary and the location of the needed equipment.

(3) EMS Activation: The third role, emergency medical system (EMS) activation,may be necessary in situations where emergency transportation is requireddue to injury or illness. EMS activation should occur as soon as the situation isdeemed life threatening or an emergency. Activating EMS may be done byanyone on the team. Consideration should be taken for individuals who arecalm under pressure and who communicates well over the telephone.

(4) Direction of EMS to the emergency: After EMS has been activated, theemergency team should send and individual to meet EMS and direct them tothe scene. This person should have appropriate keys to unlock and necessarydoors or gates that EMS would need access through.

When forming the emergency team, it is important to adapt the team to each situationor sport. It may be advantageous to have more than one individual assigned to eachrole, in case members may not always be present.

Emergency Communication

Communication is essential to provide the best possible health care to the injured or illstudent-athlete. Communication prior to events is a good way to build rapport with eachhealth professional involved. Access to a working telephone or cell phone and theemergency team should be aware of the location for a workable telephone.

Emergency Equipment

Personnel should be familiar with function, operation, and location of each type ofemergency equipment.

Conclusion

Through development and implementation of the emergency plan, the athletic trainingstaff helps to ensure that the student-athlete will have the best care provided when anemergency situation does arise.
