What to do
- Stop activity and check that approaching is safe. Keep others away from danger without exposing yourself.
- Stop play. Head impact with dizziness or confusion: medical assessment.
- After head impact, confusion, vomiting or unresponsiveness: call emergency services.
- Unresponsive, abnormal breathing or severe bleeding: emergency help now.
- If awake: neck still and comfortable. Do not make them walk to test ability.
- If unresponsive: keep the airway open with the dispatcher. Breathing and CPR take priority over the neck.
- If unresponsive: call emergency services. If breathing is abnormal, start CPR with dispatcher guidance.
- Injured joint: support without force. No weight on the leg.
- Collapse without impact can also be medical emergency. If unresponsive, call now: gasps or abnormal breathing are not normal. Use CPR guide.
- Stay if safe. Watch response and breathing. Protect from cold or heat without unnecessary movement. Report changes.
What to avoid
- Do not resume play just because dizziness stopped.
- Do not try to put a dislocated joint back.
