Basic Sports First Aid & Emergency
What Is Sports First Aid?
The immediate care given to an injured athletes or
suddenly ill person.
DOES NOT take the place of proper medical treatment.
Legal Considerations
Implied Consent involves an unresponsive victim in a life-
threatening condition.
It is assumed or “implied” that an unresponsive victim would
consent to lifesaving help.
Only perform Sports First Aid assistance for which you have
been trained.

 Promote recovery:
 Airway
 Breathing
 Stop bleeding
 Treat shock
 Treat other injuries
 Reassure
 Relieve pain
 Handle with care
 Protect from harm
 Circulation

The first person at the scene of an
incident should:
 Make the area safe
 Send for help
 Reassure the casualty and bystanders
 Use bystanders to help
 Prioritise and respond to the immediate needs of the casualty
 Check Danger at the Scene
 Response of the Casualties
 Check for Airway
 Check for Breathing
 Check for Circulation

Scene Survey
When confronted with an accident or illness on during game it is
important to assess the situation to determine what kind of
emergency situation you are dealing with, for your safety, the
victim’s safety and that of others.
Do a quick survey of the scene that includes looking for three
elements:
 Hazards that could be dangerous to you, the victim,
or bystanders.
 The cause (mechanism) of the injury or illness.
 The number of victims.
Note: This survey should only take a few seconds.

Goal of the initial assessment:
Visually determine whether there are life-threatening or
other serious problems that require quick care.
Determine if victim is conscious - by tap and shout. Check for
ABC as indicated:
A = Airway Open? – Head-tilt/Chin-lift.
B = Breathing? – Look, listen, and feel.
C = Circulation? – Check for signs of circulation.
Note: These step-by-step initial assessment should not be
changed. It takes less than a minute to complete, unless first aid
is required at any point.
• Breathing
• Bleeding
• Shock
• Burn
• Choking
• Heart Attack
• Fractures

Victim Assessment Sequence
Assessment Sequence Components:

experiencing.

that may be involved.
If victim is not responsive (Unconscious or incoherent).
Observe for obvious signs of injury or illness:
Check from head to toe
Provide first Aid / CPR for injuries or illness observed.

on the back of the hand.
 U – Unresponsive – there is no response at all.
