Please have the Crash Kit readily available at all times while acting as an ATC for FCPS, and be familiar with the use of all contents. If EMS transport is necessary, vitals (BP, pulse, respirations) should be monitored while waiting for EMS arrival. Be aware of the use of the TwinJet Epi-Pen.
Please note that the AEDs placed in the white boxes in all schools are Phillips FRX models.
If you cover an event and need a crash kit or extra AED, please contact me.
Other information included:
Injury Case Entry Report cards. Please fill one out for each injury you care for. If you evaluate an existing injury and change any previous status (such as participation status), fill out the card checking "Clinical Assessment Update". Completed cards are to be left with the ATC at the school.
Treatment Recording Form. Please fill out appropriately ALL treatments you render, including Band-Aids (wound care) and ice (ice bag). This form should be completed by you, not the athletes. Leave this form for the ATC at the school.
SAC-VNI concussion assessment card, and the SAC-VNI instructions.

A SAC-VNI referral form is included where results from the SAC-VNI test are recorded, this form can be given to parents in the event you feel the athlete should be seen by a physician.
