    Student Athlete/Parent or Legal Guardian Concussion Statement

     

    MUST BE SIGNED AND RETURNED TO OAK RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL PRIOR TO PARTICIPATION IN ALL ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

     

  • TSSAA CONCUSSION POLICY

    AFTER READING THE INFORMATION SHEET I AM AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

  • A concussion is a brain injury which should be reported to my parents, my coach(es) or a medical professional if one is available.

  • A concussion cannot be "seen".  Some symptoms might be present right away.  Other symptoms can show up hours or days after an injury.

  • I will tell my parents, my coach, and/or a medical professional about my injuries and illnesses.

  • I will not return to play in a game or practice if a hit to my head or body causes any concussion-related symptoms.

  • I will/my child will need written permission form a health care provider* to return to play or practice after a concussion.

  • Most concussions take days or weeks to get better.  A more serious concussion can last for months or longer.

  • After a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body an athlete should receive immediate medical attention if there are any danger signs such as loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, or a headache that gets worse.

  • After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal.  I understand that I am/my child is much more likely to have another concussion or more serious brain injury if return to play or practice occurs before the concussion symptoms go away.

  • Sometimes repeat concussion can cause serious and long-lasting problems and even death.

  • I have read the concussion symptoms on the Concussion Information Sheet found here: https://tssaa.org/wp-content/uploads/concussion.pdf

  • Athlete/Parent/Guardian Sudden Cardiac Arrest Symptoms and Warning Signs Information Sheet and Acknowledgement of Receipt and Review Form

     

    What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

    Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is when the heart stops beating, suddenly and unexpectedly.  When thishappens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.  SCA doesn't just happen to adults; it takes the lives of students too.  However, the causes of sudden cardiac arrest in students and adults can be different.  A youth athlete's SCA will likely result from an inherited condition, while an adult's SCA may be caused by either inherited or lifestyle issues.  SCA is NOT a heart attack.  A heart attack may cause SCA, but they are not the same.  A heart attack is caused by a blockage that stops the flow of blood to the heart.  SCA is a malfunction in the heart's electrical system, causing the heart to suddenly stop beating.

    How common is sudden cardian arrest in the United States?

    SCA is the #1 cause for death for adults in this country.  There are about 300,000 cardiac arrests outside hospitals each year.  About 2,000 patients under 25 die of SCA each year.  It is the #1 cause of death for student athletes.

    Are there warning signs?

    Although SCA happens unexpectedly, some people may have signs or sypmtoms such as:

    • Fainting or seizures during exercise
    • Unexplained shortness of breath
    • Dizziness
    • Extreme fatigue
    • Chest pains
    • Racing heart

    These symptoms can be unclear in athletes, since people often confuse these warning signs with physical exhaustion.  SCA can be prevented if the underlying causes can be diagnosed and treated.

    What are the risks of practicing or playing after experiencing these symptoms?

    There are risks associated with continuing to practice or play after experiencing these symptoms.  When the heart stops, so does the blood that flows to the brain and other vital organs.  Death or permanent brain damage can occur in just a few minutes.  Most people who experience SCA die from it.

    Public Chapter 325 - the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act

    The act is intended to keep youth athletes safe while practicing or playing.  The requirements of the act are:

    All youth athletes and their parents or guardians must read and sign this form.  It must be returned to the school before participation in any athletic activity.  A new form must be signed and returned each school year.

    Adapted from PA Department of Health: Sudden Cardiac Arrest Symptoms and Warning Signs Information Sheet and Acknowledgement of Receipt and Review Form. 7/2013

    The immediate removal of any youth athlete who passes out or faints while participating in an athletic activity, or who exhibits any of the following symptoms:

    (i) Unexplained shortness of breath

    (ii) Chest pains

    (iii)Dizziness

    (iv) Racing heart rate

    (v) Extreme fatigure and

    Establish as policy that a youth athlete who has been removed from play shall not return to the practice or competition during which the youth athlete experienced symptoms consistent with sudden cardiac arrest.

    Before returning to practice or play in an athletic activity, the athlete must be evaluated by a Tennessee licensed medical doctor or an osteopathic physician. Clearance to full or graduated return to practice or play must be in writing.

     

    I have reviewed and understand the symptoms and warning signs of SCA.
