The NCAA’s plan of attack. SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST, is a leading killer of college athletes.

The NCAA’s plan of attack. SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST,  is a leading killer of college athletes

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading killer of college athletes. Here’s the NCAA’s plan of attack..

Basketball fans attending Loyola Marymount University’s game against the University of Portland in March 1990 thought they were in for a spirited semifinal game. But then the unthinkable happened: 23-year-old Hank Gathers, a 6-foot 7-inch superstar, collapsed on the court. Stunned fans later learned that he died of sudden cardiac arrest — a condition that still kills between five and 10 NCAA athletes every year. Now, 26 years later, the NCAA has issued new guidance on how to prevent those kinds of deaths.

It’s the result of a multi-year process initiated by the association, which convened a task force of cardiovascular and sports medicine experts, student athletes, and athletic trainers to decide what to do about sudden cardiac deaths in sports back in 2014. The group came up with a consensus statement recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The document identifies the purpose of pre-participation evaluations, best practices for those screenings, and guidelines for how officials should plan for and handle emergency cardiac arrest when it’s in progress.

Just how bad is the problem? In 2011, researchers from the University of Washington at Seattle used an NCAA database, public media reports, and catastrophic insurance claims to come up with an incidence rate for sudden cardiac death among students who died suddenly during exercise. They found that 75 percent of sudden deaths among student athletes who died during exercise could be traced to cardiovascular causes and that the current methods of collecting data underestimate the risk of sudden cardiac death.

The NCAA itself found that the risk of a male athlete dying from sudden cardiac arrest is one in 38,000 and only one in about 122,000 for female athletes. Basketball, soccer, and football players appear to be at the greatest risk — though only 4 percent of NCAA athletes are basketball players, they represent a full 20 percent of all sudden cardiac deaths.

But though the recommendations give guidelines on how to use electrocardiograms (ECGs) to predict those kinds of risks to student athletes, they stop short of actually recommending them. “We’re not mandating or recommending that they be done across the board,” says Brian Hainline, staff senior vice president and chief medical officer of the NCAA. In 2015, Hainline, who is the NCAA’s first-ever chief medical officer, backtracked on a publicly announced plan to require all student athletes to receive ECGs when team physicians from over 100 universities protested.

“Look, people have been talking about electrocardiogram screening for a long time, but it's been so polarized that you have two camps and the two camps just keep saying the same thing and you're not moving forward in a consensus-driven manner," Hainline says. One camp insists that EKGs are a critical predictive tool that can identify cardiac conditions, like myocarditis, a disease that inflames and can damage the heart muscle and that is associated with sudden cardiac death. The other holds that since so few student athletes have the kinds of cardiac problems that can be detected by EKG and that put them at risk for sudden death, the procedure shouldn’t be performed as a requirement for participation — a position held by organizations like the American Heart Association.

“For a lot of sudden cardiac deaths, the first symptom is sudden cardiac death,” says Justin Wright, assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso. A sports-medicine-trained physician, Wright directs the school’s sports medicine program. “Our current system isn’t perfect, but I’m not sure that EKG screening may not be the perfect answer, either.”

The new consensus statement neatly sidesteps the EKG issue: It provides best practices for institutions that choose to require the tests as part of screening, but stops short of recommending it be implemented across the board. It may be cautious when it comes to how to predict cardiac arrest risks, but when it comes to how organizations should treat it while it’s happening, the statement minces no words. “The debate about the effectiveness of various screening examinations … will undoubtedly continue,” it reads. “However, there is no debate that a well-rehearsed and effectively implemented [emergency action plan] ... is effective at reducing the risk of death.”

To that end, the statement insists that coaching staff, referees and other responders be trained, that emergency plans be in place, and that working automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) be available during practice and play. When Gathers collapsed back in 1990, CPR was initially not administered because he was responsive. However, an AED was unsuccessfully used to save his life, and once Gathers registered no pulse, CPR was unsuccessfully used.

Perhaps a more cohesive emergency plan — or a more rigorous cardiovascular screening — could have saved Gathers. But Hainline hopes that the new guidelines can keep today’s athletes and those of the future from dying during sports. “No matter what we do, there’s always going to be a risk of someone dying of sudden cardiac arrest,” he says. “In all sports settings the most important thing we can do is make certain that all of the appropriate people are CPR and AED trained.”

Wright, who oversees medical game coverage for the University of Texas at El Paso and local high schools, agrees. “Everyone thinks they’re going to rise to the occasion, but most of the time we fall back to our level of training,” he says. “It’s not difficult to learn CPR.”

Spanish Army Chooses the Pyng Medical FAST1 Intraosseous Infusion System

Spanish Army Chooses the Pyng Medical FAST1 Intraosseous Infusion System

SOURCE: PYNG MEDICAL CORP. JAN 10, 2012

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pyng Medical Corp. (the "Company") (PYT: TSX-V) announced today that the FAST1® has been chosen by the Spanish Army through Pyng's exclusive dealer in Spain, International Emergency Services (IES), as the standard of care for their army combat medics to carry in their medical bags.  Currently used by most NATO forces including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Norway, the Spanish Army is the latest force to select the FAST1 Intraosseous Infusion System for their vascular access needs.

Spanish Army Chooses the Pyng Medical FAST1 Intraosseous Infusion System

Responsible for land-based military operations, the Spanish Army (Ejercito de Tierra - "Ground Army") is the terrestrial army of the Spanish Armed Forces.  After much consideration and research, the Spanish Army decided that the sternal route for intraosseous infusion was the best way to administer emergency fluids and medications in battlefield situations. 

"In the past, the Spanish Army has used the EZ-IO® and BIG® (Bone Injection Gun) systems for their intraosseous needs.  However, they found that soldiers would have injuries to their extremities, exactly where these devices require deployment.  They realized that the sternum was a better access point as it is one of the most protected parts on a soldier's body," commented Jesus Orbe, Director of Sales and Marketing at IES Spain.

"The FAST1 really is a product like no other on the market.  Its design and ease of use takes the guesswork out of the intraosseous infusion process.  From the target patch to the automated depth control, the medic just has to find the sternal notch and deploy the device.  It is easy to learn and deploy, even in low light conditions," added Mr. Orbe.  "These benefits in particular are the very reasons why the FAST1 is the device of choice for the Spanish Army's intraosseous needs." 

The first order of FAST1 for the Spanish Army will be used for a contingent of soldiers that are being deployed to Lebanon in the coming weeks.  "We are honored to offer a product such as the FAST1 with its high degree of success, ease-of-use and dependability," noted Mr. Orbe.

APRENDIENDO A LEER UN EKG 

Como todos sabemos ( estudiantes de medicina humana) el tener que aprender a leer un EKG puede ser una experiencia muy dificultosa para muchos así que para poder aprender a leer correctamente y reconocer sus patologías primero tenemos que saber lo normal así que aquí dejo las 10 reglas de Chamberlain  para poder saber cuando un EKG es normal y así desde ahí poder saber reconocer cualquier patología.

Regla 1: El intervalo PR debe ser de 120 a 200 milisegundos o de 3 a 5 pequeños cuadrados

Regla 2: La anchura del complejo QRS no debe exceder 110 ms, menos de 3 pequeños cuadrados

Regla 3:La anchura del complejo QRS no debe exceder 110 ms, menos de 3 pequeños cuadrados

Regla 4: Las ondas QRS y T tienden a tener la misma dirección general en las derivaciones de las extremidades

Regla 5:Todas las ondas son negativas en plomo aVR

Regla 6: 

La onda R en las derivaciones precordiales debe crecer de V1 a por lo menos V4 

La onda S en las derivaciones precordiales debe crecer desde V1 hasta al menos V3 y desaparecer en V6. 

Regla 7:El segmento ST debe comenzar isoeléctrico excepto en V1 y V2 donde puede ser elevado

Regla 8: :Las ondas P deben estar erguidas en I, II y V2 a V6

Regla 9: No debe haber una onda Q o sólo una pequeña q menor de 0.04 segundos de ancho en I, II, V2 a V6

Regla 10: La onda T debe estar en posición vertical en I, II, V2 a V6
