ETSU Sports Medicine: EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

INTRODUCTION
Sport participation in college athletics is at an all-time high. As sport sponsorship
continues to increase, so do the medical demands. In accordance with the National Athletic
Trainers’ Association Position Statement: Emergency Planning in Athletics, the Sports
Medicine Team at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) has developed a series of
emergency action plans (EAPs) covering each athletic venue. The purpose of the EAPS is
to mitigate risk and decrease response time in the case of an emergency event. This
document ensures the following:
1. Have an emergency medical plan for each venue.
2. Proper coverage of all ETSU athletic events by appropriate staff.
3. Proper maintenance of emergency medical equipment/supplies.
4. Utilization of proper emergency staff.
5. Continuing education for all staff on emergency techniques/planning.
6. Communication prior to the event.

Emergency Action Plan Personnel
This includes physicians, emergency medical technicians, certified athletic trainers,
graduate assistant athletic trainers, student athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches,
sport coaches, managers and all individuals certified in first aid/cpr training. The personnel at the
event will widely vary according to event and venue. All members may not be present. Within
the personnel there are different roles that must be filled to assure the emergency medical plan is
utilized correctly. The first responder is the most qualified individual present at the scene. In most
cases this will be a certified athletic trainer or student athletic trainer certified in first aid and CPR.
The first responder is responsible for verbally commanding other emergency personnel to assume
the following roles that are necessary to insure proper management of the emergency.
Basic Roles of Emergency Response Team
1. Life Threatening
2. EMS Activation
3. Equipment Retrieval
4. Directing EMS to Scene
EMS is to be activated (called) when the situation is deemed an emergency or life threatening.
Time is crucial at this point and this role should be assumed by someone familiar with the venue
location and address. The retrieval of emergency supplies and equipment should be done by
someone who knows where and what the equipment is. An assistant coach or student athletic
trainer is a good choice for this position. Meeting and directing EMS to the scene of the emergency
needs to be done by somebody who has keys to any locked gates or doors that may slow down the
arrival of medical personnel.

Emergency Communication
Communication is necessary for quick emergency response. If EMS is at the scene,
communication of both groups prior to the event is a good way to establish rapport. If EMS is not
at the scene, then direct communication with the dispatcher is necessary to maintain emergency
medical transportation.
Access to a working telephone must be assured before every practice and event. This is
most commonly a cellular phone or fixed telephone. At any athletic event, home or away, it is
important to know the location of the nearest telephone and how to access it. In the event which
EMS must be activated, the following must be performed:
1. Advise Public Safety or emergency medical services (EMS) personnel of the
following:
a. My name is _____________________ and we have an injured student athlete
in need of emergency medical treatment.
i. University phone: 9-6900, 9-4480 or 911
ii. Cellular phone-on campus: 423-439-6900 or 423-439-4480
iii. OFF CAMPUS: 911
b. Number of victims; condition of victims
c. First-aid treatment initiated
d. Specific directions as needed to locate scene
i. I am located in the ______________________________________.
e. Other information as requested by dispatcher
f. DO NOT HANG UP UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO BY DISPATCHER

Emergency Equipment
All emergency equipment and supplies should be on hand and easily accessible during
covered events, games, or practices. Equipment must be in good working order and checked on a
regular basis. Personnel must be trained in advance on the use of the equipment and the use should
be rehearsed. The following equipment should be stored in a clean and environmentally controlled
area and be readily available in the case of an emergency.
• Spine board
• Vacuum splints
• First Aid Supplies
• CPR equipment
• Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
Transportation
An ambulance is onsite for the following high-risk sports: football, men’s basketball, and
women’s basketball. Having an ambulance onsite may also be coordinated for other special
events/tournaments.
In an emergency event, the athlete should be transported by ambulance with the necessary
staff and equipment. If the emergency personnel leave the scene of the event, it must be insured
that the event is supervised. The following are emergency situations that are to be considered
medical transport situations:
• Impairment of:
o Level of consciousness (LOC)
o Airway, breathing, circulation (ABC)
ETSU Sports Medicine: EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

• Neurovascular compromise
• Dislocation
• Open fracture or profuse bleeding
• Suffering from heat stress
• Severe head injury
• Possible C-spine injury
• Shock
Media/Crowd/Family Management
In the event of an emergency situation, special consideration should be given to the family,
crowd, and media management. Individuals will be designated to contact involved persons family
members and inform them of current situation. Members of the facilities management team will
be assigned and responsible for crowd control.
The proliferation of social media and expedited forms of communication pose a direct
threat to individuals HIPAA rights. In an attempt to protect individuals HIPAA rights, information
will only be communicated to ETSU Sports Information Department and individual’s family per
consent.
Inclement Weather
Inclement weather can also pose a threat to athlete’s health. Special consideration should
be given in the following environments:
1. High Wind
2. Extreme Cold
3. Extreme Heat
4. Lightening
