EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROCEDURES

 

Major medical emergencies do not occur at athletic practices or competitions as often as many are led to believe, BUT THEY CAN AND DO OCCUR.  Therefore, the personnel in charge of conducting athletic practices and interscholastic or intercollegiate competitions must BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.  Planning ahead for uncommon major medical emergencies involves preparation in 7 major areas: Medical Coverage staff & responsibilities, Support Personnel, External Support Personnel, Communication, Equipment, and Follow-up.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The Athletic Training Department has complete authority over allowing an athlete to participate in intercollegiate athletics.  We work under the direct supervision of our Team Physician(s).  The athlete must be a full-time student at the University of Central Arkansas, and must be cleared by our department prior to participation.  Should an injury occur, we reserve the right to hold an athlete from participation if we feel it is in the best interest of the athlete.
