Concussions and Head Injuries
• Employees and agents are not expected to be
able to diagnose a concussion or traumatic
head injury. That is the role of a qualified
health care professional.
• However, employees/agents must be aware of
the signs, symptoms and behaviors of a
possible concussion or traumatic head injury,
and implement the appropriate protocol as
outlined in this policy.
Signs and Symptoms
– Confusion
– Disorientation
– Impaired
consciousness
– Dysfunction of
memory
– Loss of consciousness
– Seizures
– Irritability
– Lethargy
– Vomiting
– Headache
– Dizziness
– Fatigue
Protocol
• If a student exhibits signs, symptoms, or
behaviors consistent with a concussion or is
suspected of having a concussion or brain
injury, the employee or agent supervising the
student must take action to immediately
remove the student from the sporting event
until cleared by an appropriate health care
professional.
• Continuing to participate in physical activity
after a concussion or traumatic head injury
can lead to worsening symptoms, increased
risk for further injury, and even death.
Notification
• School personnel shall notify the student’s parent as
soon as reasonably possible of the following:
– the student has been injured:
– depending on the injury, an emergency vehicle will pick
the student up at the event and transport him/her or, if
the student is symptomatic but stable, the student may be
picked up at the event and transported by the parent;
– if the student is transported by the parent, the parent
should be advised to contact the student’s primary care
provider, or seek care at the nearest emergency
department, on the day of the injury; and
– a medical evaluation by a qualified health care
professional is required before the student will be allowed
to participate in any District sporting event.
Parent Cannot be Reached
• In the event that a student’s parent cannot be
reached, and the student is able to be sent home
rather than directly to an emergency medical
provider, school personnel shall:
– ensure that the student will be with a responsible
adult who is capable of monitoring the student before
allowing the student to go home;
– continue efforts to reach the parent; and
– not permit the student with a suspected concussion
or traumatic head injury to drive home.
Emergency Medical Response
• The following situations indicate a medical
emergency and require an emergency medical
response by school personnel in conjunction
with parent notification:
– Any student with a witnessed loss of
consciousness of any duration should be
transported immediately to the nearest
emergency department via emergency vehicle.
– Any student who has symptoms of a concussion,
and who is not stable (i.e., condition is
worsening), should be transported immediately to
the nearest emergency department via emergency
vehicle.
– A student who exhibits any of the following
symptoms should be transported immediately to
the nearest emergency department, via
emergency vehicle:
•
•
•
•
deterioration of neurological function;
decreasing level of consciousness;
decrease or irregularity in respirations;
any signs or symptoms of associated injuries, spine or skull
fracture, or bleeding;
• mental status changes: lethargy, difficulty maintaining arousal,
confusion or agitation; or
• seizure activity.
Return to Activity
• Medical Provider Clearance
– Before a student suspected of suffering a concussion or
traumatic head injury may be allowed to participate in any
District sporting event, the student’s parent shall provide a
written statement from a qualified health care provider
stating that:
• the student is symptom free and medically cleared to resume
participation in the District’s sporting event; and
• the qualified health care provider has, within three years before
the day on which the written statement is made, successfully
completed a continuing education course in the evaluation and
management of a concussion or traumatic head injury.
Step-wise Return to Activity
• Once medical clearance has been given, the
student will be progressed back to full activity
following the step-wise process. School
personnel shall carefully monitor the student’s
progression through each of the steps.
• Step 1: Complete cognitive rest. This may include
staying home from school or limiting school
hours. Activities requiring concentration and
attention may worsen symptoms and delay
recovery.
• Step 2: Return to school full-time.
• Step 3: Light non-impact aerobic activity.
• Step 4: Moderate non-impact aerobic activity.
• Step 5: Non-contact training drills in full
equipment. Weight training can begin.
• Step 6: Full contact practice or training.
• Step 7: Full participation.
• Progression is individualized, and will be
determined on a case-by-case basis under the
supervision of appropriate school personnel.
Factors that may affect the rate of progression
include:
– previous history of concussion or traumatic head
injury;
– duration and type of symptoms;
– age of the student; and
– whether the District sporting event involves the
potential of collision or contact.
• The student should spend one to two days at
each step before advancing to the next. If
post-concussion/traumatic head injury
symptoms occur at any step, the student must
stop the sporting event and the treating
health care provider must be contacted.
• Depending upon the specific type and severity
of the symptoms, the student may be told to
rest for 24 hours and then resume activity at a
level one step below where he or she was at
when the symptoms occurred.
