| - In organized athletics, few situations give rise to greater anxiety than the 'downed athlete'.Obvious causes include head and neck injury, or both, with no immediate means of excluding neck injury in the athlete who may be unable to give a history. Compounding the problem is the potential for the athlete's airway being compromised. Such a situation requires effective triage with the possibility of the athlete's injury being worsened or its effects being made permanent, if the initial steps taken are not appropriate. Paradoxically, the equipment designed to prevent or mitigate injury, such as helmets, face masks, neck rolls, and shoulder pads, contributes to the complexity of the steps needed to be taken. Finally, environmental challenges, such as the difficulty of first responders moving on an ice arena, or maneuvering an ambulance through inadequate access routes, will add to the problem if not previously addressed by inspection of facilities and, in the best circumstances, rehearsal.
