Sports Emergency Care: A Team Approach (3rd Edition) – eBook PDF

For more than a decade, Sports Emergency Care: A Team Approach (3rd edition) has filled a void in athletic training education on the subject of emergency care. Now, this updated 3rd Edition continues to pave the way to prepare athletic training students beyond traditional first aid training as well as providing specific information on emergency situations in sports for emergency medical services (EMS) professionals.

In this updated 3rd Edition, Dr. Robb S. Rehberg and Dr. Jeff G. Konin, along with their 13 contributors, have created a resource that can be used in athletic training education programs as a core textbook in a sports emergency care course; a supplemental textbook in several courses that address immediate care within an athletic training education curriculum; and it can be used by EMS educators in developing continuing education programs for prehospital providers.

Some of the topics included in the Third Edition:

• Cardiovascular Emergencies
• Care of Athletes with Disabilities
• Soft Tissue Injuries and Fractures
• Assessment of Sports Emergencies
• Managing Mental Health Emergencies
• Management of Traumatic Brain Injury
• Emergencies in Sports for the Aging Athlete

Regardless of discipline, it is important for all health care providers caring for ill or injured athletes to be knowledgeable and proficient in managing sports emergencies. This ability can only be achieved through preparation and practice, and Sports Emergency Care: A Team Approach, 3e, PDF continues to be a groundbreaking textbook that gives access to the essential resources health care providers need to address sports emergencies. This includes but is not limited to emergency medical technicians and paramedics, athletic trainers, and physicians.

From the Foreword:

“Emergencies can occur anytime and anywhere in sports, including at a practice or on the bus traveling to an event. After nearly forty years as a professional sports athletic trainer, these emergency moments give me pause. Preparation is the key to successful outcomes in all emergencies.” – —Ronnie P.
