Pre-Hospital Emergency Care

Pre-Hospital Emergency Care in sports medicine refers to the immediate medical assistance provided to athletes or individuals injured during sports activities before they reach a hospital. This care includes assessment of injuries, providing first aid, stabilizing the patient, and ensuring safe transportation to a medical facility if needed. It aims to minimize complications, prevent further injury, and promote quicker recovery. Trained personnel, like athletic trainers or paramedics, assess the situation on-site, prioritizing the athlete’s well-being and ensuring that appropriate medical practices are followed until advanced medical help arrives.
