Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion Sample Clauses

Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion. Concussion symptoms may appear immediately after the injury or can take several days to appear. Studies have shown that it takes on average 10-14 days or longer for symptoms to resolve and, in rare cases or if the athlete has sustained multiple concussions, the symptoms can be prolonged. Signs and symptoms of concussion can include: (not all-inclusive) • Vacant stare or seeing stars • Lack of awareness of surroundings • Emotions out of proportion to circumstances (inappropriate crying or anger) • Headache or persistent headache, nausea, vomiting • Altered vision • Sensitivity to light or noise • Delayed verbal and motor responses • Disorientation, slurred or incoherent speech • Dizziness, including light-headedness, vertigo(spinning) or loss of equilibrium (being off balance or swimming sensation) • Decreased coordination, reaction time • Confusion and inability to focus attention • Memory loss • Sudden change in academic performance or drop in grades • Irritability, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, easy fatigability • In rare cases, loss of consciousness DANGERS if your child continues to play with a concussion or returns too soon: Athletes with signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from activity (play or practice) immediately. Continuing to play with the signs and symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to sustaining another concussion. Athletes who sustain a second concussion before the symptoms of the first concussion have resolved and the brain has had a chance to heal are at risk for prolonged concussion symptoms, permanent disability and even death (called “Second Impact Syndrome” where the brain swells uncontrollably). There is also evidence that multiple concussions can lead to long-term symptoms, including early dementia. Steps to take if you suspect your child has suffered a concussion: Any athlete suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the activity immediately. No athlete may return to activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems or how quickly symptoms clear, without written medical clearance from an appropriate health-care professional (AHCP). In Florida, an appropriate health-care professional (AHCP) is defined as either a licensed physician (MD, as per Chapter 458, Florida Statutes), a licensed osteopathic physician (DO, as per Chapter 459, Florida Statutes). Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. Yo...
