Climbing Escalade Canada has developed the Climbing Escalade Canada Concussion Protocol to help guide the management of participants who may have a suspected concussion as a result of participation in Climbing Escalade Canada activities.
Purpose
This protocol covers the recognition, medical diagnosis, and management of participants, coaches, and trainers who may sustain a suspected concussion during a sport activity. It aims to ensure that participants with a suspected concussion receive timely and appropriate care and proper management to allow them to return back to their sport safely. This protocol may not address every possible clinical scenario that can occur during sport-related activities but includes critical elements based on the latest evidence and current expert consensus.
Who should use this protocol?
This protocol is intended for use by all individuals who interact with participants inside and outside the context of school and non-school based organized sports activity, including participants, parents, coaches, officials, teachers, trainers, and healthcare professionals.
