3 Take Home Points From This Month's Sports Emergency Care Whitepaper Session Addressing Trends In Equipment Removal Protocols
3 Take Home Points Regarding Equipment Removal Protocols
This was an exciting month at Sports Medicine Concepts.  We hosted our first Information Friday Session (IFS) on YouTube with a review of the Riddell Speedflex football helmet, and our Sports Emergency Care White Paper Session (SEC-WP) addressed Current Trends in Football Equipment Removal Protocols with SMC Program Director Mike Cendoma presiding over an expert panel that included:
  • Mr. Pepper Burruss, Green Bay Packers Director of Sports Medicine
  • Mr. Peter Bonadonna, EMT-P and SMC EMS Liaison
  • Mr. Jason Emmel, EMT-P with the NY Jets and NY Giants
  • Mr. Peter McCabe, ATC, Nazareth College Men's Ice Hockey and SMC In 2Min or Less! instructor

Here, we provide three take-home points from the IFS and SEC-WP programs that all athletic trainers should consider: 

  1. When put through traditional on-field management protocols, the Riddell Speedflex posed no significant challenges during management of a critically injured athlete for well rehearsed medical teams;
  2. The appropriateness, timing, and location of equipment removal is dependent on many factors, including athlete status, environmental factors, personnel, and the amount of training throughout the continuum of care;
  3. Medical team emergency action plans, at every level, should call for quickly assessing and stabilizing an injured athlete with the objective of quickly transferring an injured athlete to a more controllable environment.
