Dr. Lesley Vandermark discusses practical considerations for Exertional Heat Stroke, Identification and care live at Trinity University's 2019 conference.

What is Heat Stroke?

According to KSI –

“While exertional heat illnesses (EHI) are not always a life-threatening condition, exertional heat stroke (EHS) can lead to fatality if not recognized and treated properly. As the word heat implies, these conditions most commonly occur during the hot summer months; however, EHS can happen at any time and in the absence of high environmental temperatures.”

What are symptoms of Heat Stroke?

In an article by Mom's Team these are listed:

What are some of the practical considerations?

* Have a practiced EAP* Know the signs and symptoms* Use a rectal thermometer* Cold Water Immersion * Cold tub* TACO – Tarp assisted cooling * Activating EMS * again having a practiced EAP with trained personnel* Use* Software like TeamEMSoft to help coordinate location *

Owner of Performance Manual Therapy Mike Stella Joins the Sports Medicine Broadcast to talk about business and non traditional options for ATs

Mike is a Certified Athletic Trainer and Performance Enhancement Coach, but he mostly wants to be known as an EDUCATOR.

He became an AT because he was an injured athlete that slipped through the gaps of the healthcare system.

Treat People, NOT Injuries

Mike lives by this quote in his professional practice.

When people come in for treatment sessions they normally are greeted with a hug.

What is Performance Manual Therapy?

Mike Decided he would rather work 100 hours per week for himself than 40 hours per week for someone else.

He also knew he was really good at manual therapy and wanted to be able to do that for all of his patients and not be concerned with what a supervisor said was a waste of company time.

Performance manual Therapy and Movement Underground are what happens when passion and purpose join for an AT who loves manual therapy and treating patients.

What are the challenges Mike faces owning a business?

“I am not good at Admin stuff…even keeping track of my own schedule is tough for me…”

Working all day and then having to put in the extra work to do the admin part of the job is difficult.

This lifestyle is not for everyone.

Words of Wisdom

There is always a market for quality

None of us stand alone. We all received help to get here, we will need help to grow and will need to help others along the way.

Appropriate care of the Spine Injured Athlete:

* Have an EAP with local EMS* Use the “Medical Timeout”* Proper assessment and management of the injury* Remove equipment prior to transport* Equipment removal should be performed by at least 3 experienced rescuers* Know the different equipment for the different sports…and how to remove it* Apply rigid CERVICAL stabilization device prior to transport* Spine injured Athlete should be transported using a rigid immobilization device* NASEMSO does NOT support the use of rigid backboards for transport…only extraction.* Certain situations warrant one but not many spine injuries require transport using a rigid immobilization device * Use techniques to minimize spinal motion* Develop a plan prior to the start of the any events* Patient transport directly to a facility that can handle the spinal trauma.* Collaborate with medical staff, coaches and athletes in prevention of spine injuries* Medical team needs a strong working knowledge of current research* Future research continue to investigate the efficacy of these devices

Dr. Mark Knoblauch and Dr. Jeff Konin join forces to teach us about publishing a book.

I am an AT, I Can't Publish a Book

This is pretty much the statement I said to Dr. Knoblauch when he suggested the topic.

But then he mentioned our adoption story. we now have experience with the system, emotions, training, rejections.

Sometimes publishing a book is only to have your story written down.

Others it is to entertain someone

Furthermore others are written for education.

Some of the discussion topics:

* Book idea conception and design (when/how to turn a thought into a book)* Publishing process* Getting a publisher and/or agent* What is involved (writing, editing, formatting, cover design, marketing, obtaining reviews)* Expenses involved for self-publishing (cover design, ISBN, etc.)

Why Dr. Konin and Knoblauch?

Dr. Konin has a little experience…

* Author of 24 published textbooks, actively working on writing 3 textbooks now* Books have been translated in Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean* Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination in its 5th Edition, Allied Health Best Seller first published in 1997* Author of 30 textbook chapters* Has published for Slack, Human Kinetics, Elsevier, and self-published

Dr. Knoblauch owns a publishing company

As previously discussed on Imbalances and Disequilibrium, Dr. Mark Knoblauch owns a small publishing company.

* Certified as an athletic trainer since 1996, as CSCS since 1997, and licensed as LAT since 1999. * PhD in Kinesiology, Post-doc in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics 2012* Ten published books, several in development* Published book topics include vestibular disorders, special diets, running, time management * Publishing includes both self-published (print-on-demand) and direct-to-publisher

What is BFR?

According to the course objectives on ORS website:

Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation (PBFR) is a paradigm shifting intervention for the rehabilitation professional with over 160 peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature. By applying a tourniquet briefly and intermittently to an exercising limb you can induce significant and substantial strength, hypertrophy and endurance changes while using a very light load. https://www.owensrecoveryscience.com/certification/

So what does it really feel like?

Not bad at all…at first

Then I agreed to do the Push-up Challenge like a BOSS

30, 15,15,15 – 75 total push-ups

And this is about where i admitted defeat and moved to the modified version

And later I could barely hold my arms up for the next sessions…

If I could afford the machine and training I would have these at my school.
