%X Rapid evaluation and treatment of playing-field injuries can save a patient's life and prevent further injury. These outcomes are possible if trained personnel, who are familiar with athletic injuries, are present. This article presents basic procedures for adequate preparation, step-by-step assessment, and management of emergencies on the field, including cardiovascular emergencies; anaphylaxis; central nervous system injuries; abdominal and pelvic injuries; eye, ear, and nose injuries; and extremity injuries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
