Little League Baseball, Incorporated is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball.

Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.

* Move a victim only if the victim’s life is endangered.* Call 911

Concussions and Head InjuriesThe Mayo Clinic describes a concussion as a traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are usually temporary, but can include problems with headache, concentration, memory, judgment, balance and coordination.

Concussions are usually caused by a blow to the head. These injuries can cause a loss of consciousness, but most concussions do not. Because of this, some people have concussions and don't realize it.

Dos and Don’ts -

Do:* Dial 911* Provide dispatcher with details of the incident including the

number of victims, the type of emergency, and location of emergency

* Assign a look out person to wait for emergency response personnel

* Minimize movement of the head and spine

Don’t:* Administer any medications* Hesitate* Hang up on the 911 dispatcher until told it is okay to

disconnect the call.* Move a person who may have a neck or back injury

Contusion to Sternum

21

Contusions to the sternum are usually the result of a line drive that hits a player in the chest. These injuries can be dangerous because if the blow is hard enough the heart may become bruised and start filling with fluid. Eventually the heart may become compressed and in some cases the victim can die.Contusion to Sternum cont.If a player is hit in the chest and appears to be all right, urge the parents to take their child to the hospital for further examination.

NOTE: If a player complains of chest pains after being struck, immediately call 911.

ShockShock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, an allergic reaction, severe infection, poisoning, severe burns or other causes. When a person is in shock, his or her organs aren't getting enough blood or oxygen. If untreated, this can lead to permanent organ damage or death.

Various signs and symptoms appear in a person experiencing shock:* The skin is cool and clammy. It may appear pale or gray.* The pulse is weak and rapid. Breathing may be slow and shallow,

or hyperventilation (rapid or deep breathing) may occur. Blood pressure is below normal.

* The person may be nauseated. He or she may vomit.* The eyes lack luster and may seem to stare. Sometimes the pupils

are dilated.* The person may be conscious or unconscious. If conscious, the

person may feel faint or be very weak or confused. Shock sometimes causes a person to become overly excited and

anxious.If you suspect shock, even if the person seems normal after an

injury:* Call 911 or your local emergency number.

22

* Have the person lie down on his or her back with feet about a foot higher than the head. If raising the legs will cause pain or

further injury, keep him or her flat. Keep the person still.* Check for signs of circulation (breathing, coughing or

movement) and if absent, begin CPR.*Keep the person warm and comfortable by loosening any belts or

tight clothing and covering the person with a blanket. *Even if the person complains of thirst, give nothing by mouth.* Turn the person on his or her side to prevent choking if the

person vomits or bleeds from the mouth.

AllergiesAllergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander.The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening emergency.Anaphylaxis Some types of allergies, including allergies to foods and insect stings, have the potential to trigger a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis. A life-threatening medical emergency, this reaction can cause you to go into shock. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include:

* Loss of consciousness* Severe shortness of breath* A rapid, weak pulse* Skin rash* Nausea and vomiting* Swelling airways, which can block breathing

Allergies cont.NOTE: For a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), call 911. If the

victim carries an epinephrine auto-injector (such as EpiPen, EpiPen Jr or Twinject), it is suggested that they give themselves a shot right away. Even if symptoms improve after an emergency epinephrine injection, a visit to the emergency department is still necessary to make sure symptoms don't return when the effects of the injection wear off.

Allergy symptoms depend on your particular allergy, and can involve the airways, sinuses/nasal passages, and skin. In some severe cases, allergies can trigger a life-threatening reaction in your body known as anaphylaxis.

A food allergy (i.e. Peanuts) may cause:* Tingling mouth* Swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat* Hives* Anaphylaxis

An insect sting (i.e. Bee) allergy may cause:* A large area of swelling (edema) at the sting site* Itching or hives all over your body* Cough, chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PINCH SKIN TO REMOVE THE STINGER. DOING SO MAY CAUSE POISON TO BE RELEASED INTO THE SKIN

Heart attack symptoms: Know what a medical emergency is.Typical heart attack symptoms:

Symptom Description

Chest discomfort/pain This discomfort or pain can feel like a tight ache, pressure,

fullness or squeezing in the center of your chest

lasting more than a few minutes. This discomfort may come and go.

Upper body pain Pain or discomfort may spread beyond your chest to your

shoulders, arms, back, neck, teeth or jaw. You may have upper body pain with no chest discomfort.

Stomach pain Pain may extend downward into your abdominal area and may

feel like heartburn.

Shortness of breath You may pant for breath or try to take in deep breaths. This often

occurs before you develop chest discomfort or you may not experience any chest discomfort.

25

Anxiety You may feel a sense of doom or feel as if you're having a panic

attack for no apparent reason.

Lightheadedness In addition to chest pressure, you may feel

dizzy or feel like you might pass out.

Sweating You may suddenly break into a sweat with cold, clammy skin.

Nausea and vomiting You may feel sick to your stomach or vomit.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR):Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone — untrained bystanders and medical personnel alike — begin CPR with chest compressions.It's far better to do something than to do nothing at all if you're fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren't 100 percent complete. Remember, the difference between your doing something and doing nothing could be someone's life.

Here's advice from the American Heart Association:

* Untrained. If you're not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest compressions of about 100 a

minute until paramedics arrive. You don't need to try rescue breathing.

* Trained, and ready to go. If you're well trained and confident in your ability, begin with chest compressions instead of first

|AALL Coach’s and Manager’s Safety Manual 2018

checking the airway and doing rescue breathing. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before checking the airway and giving rescue

breaths.

* Trained, but rusty. If you've previously received CPR training but you're not confident in your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of about 100 a minute.

NOTE: The above advice applies to adults, children and infants needing CPR, but not newborns.

Performing CPRBefore starting CPR, check:

* Is the person conscious or unconscious?* If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her

shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?"* If the person doesn't respond and two people are available, one

should call 911 or the local emergency number and one should begin

CPR. If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone, call 911 before beginning CPR — unless you think the person has become unresponsive because of suffocation (such as from drowning). In this special case, begin CPR for one minute and then call 911 or the local

emergency number.

Remember to spell C-A-B

The American Heart Association uses the acronym of CAB — circulation, airway, breathing — to help people remember the order to perform the steps of CPR.

Circulation: Restore blood circulation with chest compressions1. Put the person on his or her back on a firm surface.2. Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.3. Place the heel of one hand over the center of the person's chest,

between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.

4. Use your upper body weight (not just your arms) as you push straight down on (compress) the chest at least 2 inches

(approximately 5 centimeters). Push hard at a rate of about 100 compressions a minute.

5. If you haven't been trained in CPR, continue chest compressions until there are signs of movement or until emergency medical

personnel take over. If you have been trained in CPR, go on to checking the airway and rescue breathing.

Airway: Clear the airway1. If you're trained in CPR and you've performed 30 chest

compressions, open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.

2. Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds,

attack and you haven't been trained in emergency procedures, skip mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and continue chest compressions.

Breathing: Breathe for the personRescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose

breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.1. With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver),

pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.

2. Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second — and watch to see if the chest rises.

If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the

second breath. Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle.

3. Resume chest compressions to restore circulation.4. If the person has not begun moving after five cycles (about two5. Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or emergency

medical personnel take over.

To perform CPR on a childThe procedure for giving CPR to a child age 1 through 8 is essentially the same as that for an adult. The differences are as follows:

* If you're alone, perform five cycles of compressions and breaths on the child — this should take about two minutes — before

calling 911 or your local emergency number or using an AED.

* Use only one hand to perform heart compressions.* Breathe more gently.* Use the same compression-breath rate as is used for adults: 30

compressions followed by two breaths. This is one cycle.

Following the two breaths, immediately begin the next cycle of compressions and breaths.

* After five cycles (about two minutes) of CPR, if there is no response and an AED is available, apply it and follow the prompts. Use pediatric pads if available. If pediatric pads aren't available,

use adult pads.

Continue until the child moves or help arrives.

NosebleedsNosebleeds are common. Most often they are a nuisance and not a true

medical problem. But they can be both.

To take care of a nosebleed:

* Sit upright and lean forward. By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. This discourages further

bleeding. Sitting forward will help you avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate your stomach.

* Pinch your nose. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch your nostrils shut. Breathe through your mouth. Continue to pinch for

five to 10 minutes. Pinching sends pressure to the bleeding point on the nasal septum and often stops the flow of blood.

* To prevent re-bleeding, don't pick or blow your nose and don't bend down for several hours after the bleeding episode. During this

time remember to keep your head higher than the level of your heart.

Seek medical care immediately if:* The bleeding lasts for more than 20 minutes* The nosebleed follows an accident, a fall, or an injury including a

hit in the face that may have broken the nose

A Knocked Out Tooth

* If a permanent tooth is knocked out, you have a dental emergency that requires the urgent assistance of a dentist, if you

are going to try and save the tooth. * While someone is making the emergency dental appointment

for you, pick the tooth up by the crown, leaving the root untouched. Do NOT try and brush the dirt off the tooth. Do

nothing that may further damage the root - leave the tooth roots alone as best you can.

* Clean the tooth by rinsing in milk. Do not use the tongue to clean the tooth, as the tongue, rubbing against the root of the tooth, may

damage the tooth roots further.

Once the tooth is knocked out of the mouth, the tooth is easily damaged by heat, cold or dehydration - tooth roots are very fragile.

Permanent teethIf a permanent tooth is knocked out, it should be replaced into the socket immediately. The tooth has an excellent chance of living, but the chances of it living get worse with every minute that the tooth is out of its socket.

What to do:* Do not allow the tooth to dry out.* Do not scrape or rub the root surface.* If the tooth is clean, immediately put it back into the socket and hold it there firmly with your finger.* If it is dirty, and if the person is calm enough, get him to clean

the tooth with saliva (spit).*If he cannot clean the tooth, it is better to rinse it briefly with milk

than water*Do not rinse the tooth in water for any longer than 1 to 2 seconds.

Then put it back into the socket.* Keep holding the tooth in place with fingers, or press aluminum

foil over the replaced tooth and the teeth near it. Or get the person to bite down on a soft cloth pad (gauze or a clean

handkerchief) to hold the tooth in position. This also helps stop bleeding and reduces pain.

* Get immediate dental treatment.

The last thing you want to do is lose any teeth, so try to avoid doing so. Wear a mouth guard when playing sports.

Baby teeth (deciduous teeth)

If a baby tooth is knocked out, do not place the tooth back into the socket. You don't really need to find it - unless you want to save it for the tooth fairy!* It is still important to see a dentist to make sure no other damage has been done.

Snack Shack

For the convenience of its many visitors, Windsor Field offers the Snack Shack. The main purpose of the Snack Shack is to provide visitors with meals and snacks at reasonable prices.

Parents are encouraged to volunteer for at least two 2-hour shifts each season. While working their shift, it is important for volunteers to follow some important guidelines.

1. All workers must regularly wash their hands. Especially after a visit to the lavatory and after handling raw meat.

2. Keep wet hands away from electrical outlets3. Turn the handles of pots and pans inward so youcan’t knock them off or burn yourself4. Keep loose clothes, long sleeves, and long hairaway from hot burners or fryers.

5. When finished cooking, always make sure the stove and fryers are turned off.

6. Wipe up spills immediately. Keep the floor dry so that no one slips and falls.

7. Never add water to a pan that has hot oil in it. It could make the oil spatter and burn someone. Throw baking soda or flour on a

grease fire. Or, use the fire extinguisher. The extinguisher is located between the order window and the candy shelf as pictured below.

Cuts and Burns* If you cut yourself, immediately wash the area with antiseptic

and apply pressure to the area with a clean towel. If the cut is not too deep and the bleeding stops, apply an antiseptic cream

and bandage. However, if the cut is deep and there is heavy bleeding, apply direct pressure and seek medical help.

* If you burn yourself by touching something hot, immediately apply an ice pack or submerge your hand in ice water. If the ice

water becomes too cold and uncomfortable, remove until the pain begins to return and keep repeating until the pain subsides. If the burning pain lasts more than an hour you should call a doctor. Do not apply a burn cream until after the burning sensation is gone. A first-degree burn will turn red. A second-degree burn will blister. For anything more serious, you need to seek medical help.
