EMERGENCY MEDICAL

PROCEDURES

Emergency Medical Procedures During MSHSL Tournaments

The League staff plays an important role in support of the tournament physician and trainer. In most cases the physician/trainer will manage the injury without assistance from the tournament staff. In the event of a serious injury, the following measures should be taken.

Examination of the Injured Athlete

Every effort should be made to give the physician/trainer and athlete privacy during the examination. If possible, the examination should take place in the training room or locker room away from the media and spectators. The Tournament Directors shall notify the parents/school representative (coach/assistant coach/administrator, etc.) and consult on an appropriate course of action to be followed in the care of the injured athlete.

Evacuation to a Hospital

Non-Life Threatening: In the event that it is necessary to evacuate the athlete to a hospital the parents should be consulted to determine the hospital of choice and the method of transportation (ambulance or private vehicle). If the parents are not present, the athlete should be transported by ambulance and accompanied by a representative from that school.

Life Threatening: In a life-threatening situation the athlete will be evacuated to the nearest hospital emergency room by ambulance. Every effort should be made to contact and inform the parents/school representative of the action taken by the tournament medical team. The athlete should be accompanied by a parent or school representative (coach/assistant coach, administrator, etc.)

Return to Play

An injured athlete must have a Physician’s written approval to return to play. Tournament physicians may approve an athlete's return to play. When teams or individuals transfer care to their team or personal physician, the final decision regarding return to play will be that of the Minnesota State High School League Tournament Physician.
