Abstract

Sideline management involves the ability to assess an athlete's symptoms and sudden changes in health. Injuries can vary from musculoskeletal to cardiovascular to neurologic in nature. The collapsed athlete is defined as an athlete who experiences sudden loss of postural tone that results in the inability to continue with event participation (Blue and Pecci. Orthop Clin North Am. 33(3):471-478, 2002). Athletic collapse, while frequently benign, can result in significant harm to the athlete and therefore requires immediate medical attention. Overall, fatal events are rare. In the most recent 2017 Annual Report, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research (NCCSIR) noted 862 nontraumatic catastrophic injuries since 1982, with 44 fatal injuries at the collegiate level over that time period (Reports - National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research [Internet].
