PARENT & ATHLETE CONCUSSION INFORMATION SHEET
WHAT IS A CONCUSSION? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION? Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury.
If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body, s/he should be kept out of play the day of the injury. The athlete should only return to play with permission from a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion.
DID YOU KNOW?
• Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
• Athletes who have, at any point in their lives, had a concussion have an increased risk for another concussion.
• Young children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover than adults.
SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETE: • Headache or “pressure” in head • Nausea or vomiting • Balance problems or dizziness • Double or blurry vision • Sensitivity to light • Sensitivity to noise • Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy • Concentration or memory problems • Confusion • Just not “feeling right” or is “feeling down”
SIGNS OBSERVED BY COACHING STAFF: • Appears dazed or stunned • Is confused about assignment or position • Forgets an instruction • Is unsure of game, score, or opponent • Moves clumsily • Answers questions slowly • Loses consciousness (even briefly) • Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes • Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall • Can’t recall events after hit or fall
“IT’S BETTER TO MISS ONE GAME THAN THE WHOLE SEASON”
[ INSERT YOUR LOGO ]
CONCUSSION DANGER SIGNS In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd the brain against the skull. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body s/he exhibits any of the following danger signs:
• One pupil larger than the other • Is drowsy or cannot be awakened • A headache that gets worse • Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination • Repeated vomiting or nausea • Slurred speech • Convulsions or seizures • Cannot recognize people or places • Becomes increasingly confused, restless, or agitated • Has unusual behavior • Loses consciousness (even a brief loss of consciousness
should be taken seriously)
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ATHLETE HAS A CONCUSSION? 1. If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion, remove
the athlete from play and seek medical attention. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play.
2. Rest is key to helping an athlete recover from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, and playing video games, may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, returning to sports and school is a gradual process that should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.
3. Remember: Concussions affect people differently. While most athletes with a concussion recover quickly and fully, some will have symptoms that last for days, or even weeks. A more serious concussion can last for months or longer.
WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE REPORT THEIR SYMPTOMS? If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time to heal. While an athlete’s brain is still healing, s/he is much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes to recover. In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their brain. They can even be fatal.

A Sudden Cardiac Arrest Information Sheet for Athletes and Parents/Guardians
What is sudden cardiac arrest? Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is when the heart stops beating, suddenly and unexpectedly.When this happens blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. SCA is NOT aheart attack. A heart attack is caused by a blockage that stops the flow of blood to theheart. SCA is a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system, causing the victim to collapse.The malfunction is caused by a congenital or genetic defect in the heart’s structure.How common is sudden cardiac arrest in the United States? As the leading cause of death in the U.S., there are more than 300,000 cardiac arrestsoutside hospitals each year, with nine out of 10 resulting in death. Thousands ofsudden cardiac arrests occur among youth, as it is the #2 cause of death under 25and the #1 killer of student athletes during exercise.
Who is at risk for sudden cardiac arrest?SCA is more likely to occur during exercise or physicalactivity, so student-athletes are at greater risk. Whilea heart condition may have no warning signs, studiesshow that many young people do have symptoms butneglect to tell an adult. This may be because they areembarrassed, they do not want to jeopardize their play-ing time, they mistakenly think they’re out of shape and need to train harder, orthey simply ignore the symptoms, assuming they will “just go away.” Additionally,some health history factors increase the risk of SCA.
What should you do if your student-athlete is experiencing any of thesesymptoms? We need to let student-athletes know that if they experience any SCA-relatedsymptoms it is crucial to alert an adult and get follow-up care as soon as possiblewith a primary care physician. If the athlete has any of the SCA risk factors, theseshould also be discussed with a doctor to determine if further testing is needed.Wait for your doctor’s feedback before returning to play, and alert your coach,trainer and school nurse about any diagnosed conditions.
The Cardiac Chain of SurvivalOn average it takes EMS teams up to 12 minutes to arrive
to a cardiac emergency. Every minute delay in attending
to a sudden cardiac arrest victim decreases the chance
of survival by 10%. Everyone should be prepared to take
action in the first minutes of collapse.
Early Recognition of Sudden Cardiac ArrestCollapsed and unresponsive.Gasping, gurgling, snorting, moaning or labored breathing noises.Seizure-like activity.
Early Access to 9-1-1Confirm unresponsiveness.Call 9-1-1 and follow emergency dispatcher's instructions.Call any on-site Emergency Responders.
Early CPRBegin cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) immediately. Hands-only CPR involves fastand continual two-inch chest compressions—about 100 per minute.
Early DefibrillationImmediately retrieve and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) as soon as possible to restore the heart to its normal rhythm. MobileAED units have step-by-step instructions for a by-stander to use in an emergency situation.
Early Advanced CareEmergency Medical Services (EMS) Responders begin advanced life support including additional resuscitative measures andtransfer to a hospital.
Cardiac Chain of Survival Courtesy of Parent Heart Watch
What is an AED? An automated external defibrillator (AED) is the only way to save a suddencardiac arrest victim. An AED is a portable, user-friendly device that automat-
ically diagnoses potentially life-threatening heartrhythms and delivers an electric shock to restore nor-mal rhythm. Anyone can operate an AED, regardless oftraining. Simple audio direction instructs the rescuerwhen to press a button to deliver the shock, whileother AEDs provide an automatic shock if a fatal heartrhythm is detected. A rescuer cannot accidently hurt a
victim with an AED—quick action can only help. AEDs are designed to onlyshock victims whose hearts need to be restored to a healthy rhythm. Checkwith your school for locations of on-campus AEDs.

Keep Their Heart in the Game
Recognize the Warning Signs & Risk Factorsof Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
Tell Your Coach and Consult Your Doctor if These Conditions are Present in Your Student-Athlete
What is CIF doing to help protect student-athletes?CIF amended its bylaws to include language that adds SCA training to coach certification and practice and game protocol that empowers coaches toremove from play a student-athlete who exhibits fainting—the number one warning sign of a potential heart condition. A student-athlete who has beenremoved from play after displaying signs or symptoms associated with SCA may not return to play until he or she is evaluated and cleared by a licensedhealth care provider. Parents, guardians and caregivers are urged to dialogue with student-athletes about their heart health and everyone associatedwith high school sports should be familiar with the cardiac chain of survival so they are prepared in the event of a cardiac emergency.
I have reviewed and understand the symptoms and warning signs of SCA and the new CIF protocol to incorporate SCA prevention strategies into my stu-dent’s sports program.
