Lenoir-Rhyne University Athletic Department Emergency Action Plan
A serious injury whereby an athlete’s life is in danger or the athlete risks permanent impairment includes, but is
not limited to: cervical/lumbar spine injury or spinal cord trauma, head injury, serious bleeding, fractures, heat
stress, cardiovascular arrest, seizures, respiratory arrest/distress, shock, diabetic coma/insulin shock, internal
organ injury and severe sudden illness. If such a situation occurs, the most qualified individual present should try
to determine or assess the athlete’s condition. If another individual is present he/she should retrieve any needed
medical equipment. When deemed necessary, the local EMS system should be activated. Life threatening
conditions must be cared for with appropriate life-support measures, stabilization of any head/neck/spinal injuries,
controlling of serious bleeding, treatment for shock when indicated and stabilization of any suspected fractures.
Campus security and appropriate athletic administrative personnel should be notified as needed. In the event an
athlete is transported to an emergency facility, either a coach, teammate or a member of the athletic training
department should accompany the athlete to the medical facility when possible. A college official should contact
the athlete’s parent or guardian within a reasonable period of time.
If a condition/injury is NOT life threatening, attempt to contact a Certified Athletic Trainer for Lenoir-Rhyne
University. If an Athletic Trainer is not available then contact the Student Health Center. When in doubt as to the
seriousness or nature of the injury/condition, the athlete should go to the Emergency Room or to an Urgent Care
facility.
Any time an athlete is referred for EMERGENCY/URGENT CARE, contact a staff athletic trainer as soon as possible.
The athlete should follow-up with the staff athletic trainer as soon as possible.
