Notfälle in der pädiatrischen Sportmedizin

Abstract

Acute medical emergencies also occur in children and adolescents who participate in sports. Should a life-threatening situation arise, it is important that supporting supervisors are familiar with the correct application of resuscitation measures and regularly update their knowledge. Due to anatomical and physiological characteristics, children and adolescents sometimes show various injury patterns than adults and react differently to medical interventions. Knowledge of these differences helps in diagnosis as well as in therapy.
