A standardized approach to assessment of concussion in football players: Project sideline
A standardized approach to assessment of concussion in football players: Project sideline : McCrea, M., Randolph, C., Kelly, J., Kluge, J., & Ackley, B.
Three grades of cerebral concussion have been presented with suggestions as to management of players with such problems. It should be emphasized that the greatest concern is whether there is an expanding lesion within the cranium. Since the initial symptoms and signs of cerebral concussion are reversible and are identical with those of an expanding hemorrhage a few simple neurologic tests have been presented which may stress, at a field level, the urgency of the situation. There cannot be any simple compartmentalization for all head injuries. Since a physician cannot always he present at the athletic contests continued efforts must he made to keep coaches and trainers better informed about such problems. These are the people who frequently may have to make very vital decisions.
