Procedure for a Serious/Life-Threatening Injuries

The certified athletic trainer on the scene provides appropriate first aid and executes the emergency plan. If a certified athletic trainer is not present:

• A coach or a first responder more qualified in emergency care should stabilize the injured athlete, provide first aid, and delegate the responsibilities listed below to the bystanders who could most prudently complete designated task(s) from the emergency plan. (If a certified athletic trainer is near the vicinity of the injured athlete, they should be located and directed to the scene.)

  • An athletic training student (or other first responder) calls 911. The closest phone is located in the athletic training room. There is an emergency phone located at the East upstairs Lilly entrance. A phone is also located in the downstairs fieldhouse lobby area adjacent to the Sports Information Office.

  • After calling 911, the athletic training student (or other first responder) reports back to the certified athletic trainer and goes to the southwest corner of the fieldhouse to open a door and wait outside so that the ambulance can be directed to the injured athlete.

  • A second athletic training student (first responder) or coach assists the certified athletic trainer with first aid and is responsible for crowd control. Teammates, fans, etc. need to be kept at a distance.

  • If possible, an athletic training student (first responder), coach, or teammate accompanies the athlete to the hospital in the ambulance. The athlete's medical card is sent with the athlete. The certified athletic trainer will arrive at the hospital at the conclusion of the game or practice.

  • The certified athletic trainer or coach calls the athlete's parents to inform them of the situation as soon as reasonably possible.

  • The certified athletic trainer completes an injury report as soon as reasonably possible.
