Bad broken arm my first year. Small town USA no trainers. Lets just say glad to have parents & coaches involved in the situation #txhsfbchat

That is @TAPPSbiz & @uiltexas requirement. Maybe even state law? #TXHSFBCHAT And we have >95% of our school staff trained.. not just coaches

In reply to @teamsafesports, @TAPPSbiz, @uiltexas

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A4: All coaches for every sport are CPR/AED certified. I believe any UIL sponsor is required in TX #TXHSFBCHAT

Unfortunately not the norm across the country #TXHSFBCHAT

Q5 Do you have an EAP – Emergency Action Plan – and make it available to all parents and coaches? #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @txhsfbchat

We have 4 on campus. And we are attacking all of them daily. Also, working to create stockpile in a freezer unit #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @txhsfbchat, @coachfisher_rp

mnhopper1s Sep 20 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Two big machines (1500/day) and two smaller machines (500/day). We emptied 3 of them today. #TXHSFBCHAT 250 athletes running around…

To which question are you referring? #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @HSSocialMedia

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A8: Fortunate not to experience this. With our ATC, we would follow first aid protocol & secure safety of scene waiting for ATC #TXHSFBCHAT

teamsafesports Sep 20 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Sickle cell trait predisposes an athlete to heat injuries. #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @HSSocialMedia

coach_remer Sep 20 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A8: Anything with the neck /Spine scares me too much. Calling 911 and not moving the athlete at all #TXHSFBCHAT

teamsafesports Sep 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

As long as the athlete is responsive, stabilize the head/neck in the position you found it, i.e. do not turn over if facedown. #TXHSFBCHAT

teamsafesports Sep 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

If they are unresponsive, you must start CPR! Do you have the proper tools to remove facemask in this case? #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @coach_remer

txhsfbchat - Moderator Sep 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@teamsafesports How often do you find coaches not properly trained to handle emergencies? #TXHSFBCHAT

teamsafesports Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

You can do compression only CPR if you do not feel comfortable removing the facemask. Better to err on side of caution. #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @coach_remer

teamsafesports Sep 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Oh boy, way too frequently. If there is no ATC, then coaches must have training and a safety system #TXHSFBCHAT

rwiedenhoeft Sep 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

do normal football / hockey pads restrict cpr? Do you need to cut open the pads to make the compressions meaningful?

Must have great pair of scissors to cut pads to apply proper compressions. #TXHSFBCHAT Have one person stabilize head/neck.

In reply to @rwiedenhoeft, @HSSocialMedia, @coach_remer

mnhopper1s Sep 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT

All coaches should learn how to remove a facemark. #TXHSFBCHAT Trying to teach it with C5 Fx on field is not good! (Did it..)
