Unresponsive
Types of football pads (3)
non cantilever pads- QB/WR. more freedom of movement. some OL who use hands more
-inside cantilever - fits under the arch of the shoulder pads and rests against the shoulder. It is more common because it is less bulky than the outside cantilever.
-Outside cantilever - sits on top of the pad, outside of the arch. It provides a larger blocking surface and affords more protection to those who are in constant contact, such as linemen.
-Double cantilever - combination
of both the inside and the outside cantilever,
affords a player the greatest amount of protection but is not feasible for all positions because of its bulk.
proper preactivity hydration
17–20 oz three hours prior to the event and 7–10 oz every 10–20 minutes during the event
WBGT - when to start being alert
85 deg- begin staying alert to changes
stop training if 99 degrees or higher.
heat stroke
core temp >105
cold immersion
get to <102 before transport
shock
moist clammy skin
increased RR
decreased BP
weak, rapid pulse- tachycardia
hypothermia
mild: 95-98.6
moderate: 90-94, cessation of shivering
severe: temp <90, brady, hypotension
death at core temp 77-85
lightning times
lightning–>thunder time

Canadian C spine rules
*High risk factors
-age >65
-dangerous MOI
-extremeity paresthesias
*Low risk to allow safe ROM assessment:
-simple rear end
-normal sitting in ED
-ambulatory since injury
-delayed onset, no midline tenderness
*IF you can assess, can they rotate >45 deg?
*If so, NO radiograph
*If 1 high risk- need xrays
*If 2 low risk + can’t rotate to 45 = need rays
Salter Harris classifications
SALTR
I: slipped, through growth plate but NOT bone involved, cannot happen if growth plate fused
II: above (most common), through most of growth plate and metaphysis
III: lower, some distance through growth plate and through epiphysis (poorer px)
IV: through/transverse/together: fracture through metaphysis, growth plate & epiphysis
V: ruined, does not displace growth plate but crush type injury, poor px
Canadian CT rules - is CT needed after head trauma
