USA Wrestling Assn Medical
Guidelines for Management of Concussion
2013
For
USA Wrestling National Events the following steps should be followed:
- Determine if the
athlete has sustained a concussion. The medical staff attending at mat
side will determine if the wrestler can continue and his/her decision is
final. If the medical staff attending observes that the wrestler is
unconscious the match will be an injury default. If the wrestler is
allowed to continue the attending medical staff will observe the match
until completion and can stop the match at any point, if any observable
symptoms occur. Once the match is completed the wrestler will be taken to
Medical area and administered the SCAT 3 Test and observed for a minimum
of 20 minutes. A Yellow Alert will be issued with date and time of
incident. If the Tournament Medical Staff determine that the wrestler has
not sustained a concussion a Green Alert will be issued. (For competitors
under the mental age of 12 the Child SCAT will be used)
- A wrestler that is
confirmed by Tournament Medical Staff has a Concussion, the wrestler will
be held out of competition for a minimum of 24 hours and must be cleared by Emergency Room Physician and Tournament
Medical Coordinator and be completely symptom free after exertion.
- Signs and
symptoms that should be evaluated as part of return to play guidelines
must include:
- Athlete
questions about how they “feel” (See SCAT 3 for reference questions)
- Balance
- Memory
- Eye Response

- Delayed Recall
- Postural

- Wrestlers that
have observable unconsciousness by tournament or tour medical staff must
be transported via Emergency Medical Services for evaluation unless the
unconsciousness is the result of clearly being “choked out”.
- All concussion
assessments requires a Yellow Alert Form be filed with Pairings with date
and time.

from practice or competition for a minimum of seven days and not return to
practice or competition until cleared by a medical professional and be Symptom
