Hypothermi
a Prolonged exposure to very cold
temperatures.
 Management of
Hypothermia
 Let the victim into a warm room or shelter
 If the victim has on any wet clothing, remove it
 Warm the center of the body first
 Warm beverages can help increase body temperature, but do
not give alcoholic beverages
 After body temperature has increased, keep the person dry
and wrapped in a warm blanket, including the head and
 neck.
Get medical attention as soon as possible.
 Hypertherm
ia
 Overheating of the body.
 Heat-related illness occurs as a
result of heat exposure.
 Most severe form of heat-related
illness, and requires immediate
medical attention.
 Management of
Hyperthermia
 Drink lots of water throughout the
 day
Wear lightweight, light-colored
clothing, preferably with a loose-
weave material that lets air get to
 your
Drinkskin.
less caffeine and alcohol,
which can contribute to
 dehydration.
Get medical attention as soon as
possible.

 Soft-tissue
Injuries
Contusion
 Direct force applied to the body such as being kicked or making contact
with a player and result in compression and bleeding into the soft tissue
(hematoma)
Sprain
 Overstretching and tearing of the ligament that supports the joint

Strain
 Muscles over-stretching or contracting too quickly
 Soft-tissue
Injuries
 Most common injury in sport

 Tissues that connect, support, or

surround other structures and organs
of the body
 Tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves,
fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels,
and synovial membranes

Injuries
Cause:
Direct trauma (impact)
Indirect trauma (overload)

Injury type:
Rupture
Hematoma
Management
PRICES
Protection • Relieve load by use of
Rest crutches or by splinting
Ice the involved limb
Compression • Avoid massage within
Elevation the first 3 days
Support • Observe for an acute
compartment syndrome
 Tendon
Injuries
 Resists tensile stresses
very well

 Rupture (strain)

 Overuse (inflammation)

 Rupture may be complete

or incomplete
 Tendon
Injuries
Signs and Symptoms:
• Pain
• Unable to perform
movement of muscle
• Defect noted
• Swelling and hematoma
noted

Treatment:
• PRICES
Ligamental Injuries
 Ligaments may be
partially or completely
torn
 May involve extraarticular
or intraarticular ligaments
 associated injuries
Ligamental Injuries
 Ligamental
Injuries
Treatment:
 Evaluation
 PRICE
 Determine stability of the
joint for definitive
treatment planning
 SURGERY
 Dislocation
 Results in disruption of
the capsule and ligaments
surrounding the joint
 Articular cartilage may be
injured
 Dislocation
Signs and Symptoms:

 Swelling and hemarthrosis

 Severe pain
 Deformity of the joint
extremity
 The limb may assume an
abnormal posture
 Dislocation
Treatment:
 Evaluation of the
neurovascular status
 PRICE
 Reduce the joint (usually
done after xray)
 Immobilization
 Fracture
 Break in the continuity of a bone resulting in the loss
of its mechanical and structural integrity
 “A soft tissue injury with a bony component”
 Fracture
Description depends on:
 Whether it is open or
closed
 Whether it is complete or
incomplete
 Fracture pattern
 Location in the bone
 Bone involved
 Side involved
 Modifiers
 Fracture
MANAGEMENT OF FRACTURES AND
DISLOCATIONS
 Assess vital signs, stabilize athlete
first
 Open wounds – covered with dressing
 Control bleeding with pressure
 Splint involved limb prior to transfer
to hospital
 Advantages of splinting:
 Prevents movement
 Reduces pain
