Sports Concussion Handbook is written for general physicians, residents, coaches, and trainers - essentially anyone involved in a professional or managerial capacity with youth sports teams or athletics at any age. Written in accessibile, everyday language , this handbook establishes a framework for immediate and postgame management, especially in the crucial first 24 hours. Short, focused chapters cover essential point-of-care information including early recognition, concussion symptoms, sideline assessment and immediate management, testing, return to play guidelines, and treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation. Concussion syndromes, long-term effects, legislation and education, and specific concerns for athletes at various ages and levels of professionalism are also covered. Bulleted text, checklists, tables, scales, and simple graphics make it easy for users to find what they need to manage any situation on the field or post-game and mitigate potentially life-threatening complications of sports concussions.

Concise, practical manual for quick reference when concussion is suspected.

Distils current thinking and guidelines for point-of-care management, return to play, and long-term risks and considerations for athletes at all ages and levels.
