Miscellaneous Injuries
Below are possible treatments for injuries that may occur during activity:
I.C.E. (Ice Compression Elevation): ice should be applied immediately after an injury for 20-30 minutes. Then leave ice off for one hour and reapply ice for another 20-30 minutes in an elevated position. Repeat at least 3 to 4 times per day for at least 48 hours. Do not place chemical ice packs directly on the skin.
Heat: Heat should not be applied if area is still swollen after an acute injury. May apply heat after 72 hours. Do not place heating pack directly on skin.
Do not move an unconscious athlete - call EMS.
Do not move a conscious athlete if they have neck or back pain or complain of numbness or tingling in arms and/or legs - call EMS.
Eye injury: Should patch both eyes and transport to the hospital in an upright position.
Nose bleed: Should pinch the nose, do not tilt the head back, place cotton into the nostrils, and apply an ice bag.
Teeth: If a tooth is knocked out or chipped you should place the tooth in water, saline, milk, or the athlete's saliva and transport to a dentist within 1 hour of incident.
Blisters: Pre-season athletes must wear two pairs of socks. When the athlete feels hot spots or gets a blister - apply Vaseline/skin lube on area and cover with Band-Aid or a donut pad.
Insect bites/stings: To remove a stinger use the edge of a card and scrap, do not squeeze, wash immediately with soap and water, apply an ice pack and transport to the hospital if warranted.
Diabetics: Always have a soda pop or candy bar containing sugar available; If conscious, give the sugar containing product to the athlete. If the athlete does not get any better or falls unconscious, transport immediately via EMS.
Asthma attacks: Before practices find out who has inhalers. During an attack, keep the athlete calm, get the inhaler if they have one, if not, have them breathe into cupped hands or paper bag. If athlete does not get better - call EMS.
Trained personnel should only apply taping, bracing, or orthotics when indicated.
