  • Title: Field evaluation and management of head and neck injuries.
    Author: Vegso JJ, Lehman RC.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 1987 Jan; 6(1):1-15. PubMed ID: 3508097.
    Abstract:
    This article presents clear, concise guidelines for classification, evaluation, and emergency management of injuries that occur to the head and neck as a result of competitive and recreational sports. There are several principles that must be considered by individuals responsible for an athlete who sustains a serious head or neck injury: a person who "captains" the medical/first-aid team; knowledge of the appropriate emergency management techniques; availability of emergency medical equipment including a spine board, telephone, and ambulance; and a clear understanding of the philosophy that emergency management should "do no further harm."
