John Tavares (NHL) Head INJURY | Was it MANAGED Correctly? | Doctor Explains!

Toronto Leafs captain John Tavares was taken off the ice on a stretcher following a dangerous hit to the head. This unfortunately occurred in game one of the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens NHL play off series. He fell first by a hit from Ben Chiarot. As he was down, he took a knee from Corey Perry, and this was the hit that unfortunately did him in. Support the Channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sonamspo...

However, the more pressing matter was the fans reactions to how the situation was handled and if the trainer provided appropriate care. Two acute injuries you don't want to miss in this case are head injuries (skull fracture, intracranial bleeds), and cervical spine trauma (fractures). Either of these, if bad enough can cause lasting neurological damage, and even death. In the context of first responder care of an athlete with a dangerous head hit, we try out best to keep them on the ground and to avoid having them stand up as seen with Tavares. The trainer in this case did his best to stabilize the spine, however, in an ideal world, Tavares would have been kept on the ground, on his back until they were able to board him. While the c-spine is being stabilized, other individuals are responsible for checking the ABC's. These include: airway, breathing, and circulation. Lastly, once the player is safely boarded and taken off the ice, it would be important to put on a c-spine collar and do a quick neurological exam to determine if there was any neurological compromise.
