Abstract
This article presents clear, concise guidelines for classification, evaluation, and emergency management of injuries that occur to the head and neck as a result of competitive and recreational sports. There are several principles that must be considered by individuals responsible for an athlete who sustains a serious head or neck injury: a peron who captains the medical/first-aid team; knowledge of the appropriate emergency management techniques; availability of emergency medical equipment including a spine board, telephone, and ambulance; and a clear understanding of the philosophy that emergency management should do no further harm.
