Cantu Protocol

The Cantu Protocol refers to a set of guidelines for managing concussions, especially in youth sports. Developed by Dr. Stanley Cantu, these protocols emphasize the importance of immediate assessment and careful monitoring of anyone suspected of having a concussion. The guidelines recommend removing the player from activity, conducting thorough evaluations, and gradually returning to play only after they have fully recovered without symptoms. This approach aims to protect athletes from further injuries, ensuring their health and safety while encouraging proper recovery before resuming physical activities.
