Quite often the signs of a head injury do not appear immediately after trauma, but hours after the injury itself. The purpose of this fact sheet is to alert you to the signs and symptoms of significant head injuries, symptoms that may occur several hours after you leave the training room. If you experience one or more of the following symptoms following a head injury, medical help should be sought: Difficulty remembering recent events or meaningful facts Severe headache, particularly at a specific location Stiffening of the neck Bleeding or clear fluid dripping from the ears or nose Mental confusion or strangeness Nausea or vomiting Dizziness, poor balance, or unsteadiness Weakness in either arm or leg Abnormal drowsiness or sleepiness or inability to sleep Convulsions Unequal pupils Loss of appetite Persistent ringing in the ears Slurring of speech Loss of consciousness The appearance of any of these symptoms tells you that you have sustained a significant head injury that requires medical attention. If any of these symptoms appear, it is vital that you notify a member of the Athletic Training staff or team physician and report to the emergency room at ECMC (Erie County Medical Center) immediately. REMEMBER: Head injuries can present signs and symptoms that are often found humorous and/or taken too lightly. Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprophen, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or other analgesics as these may mask serious symptoms indicating need for further medical attention. Your health may depend on the recognition of these symptoms and your decision to take them seriously Stadium Training Room: 645-6829; 645-6830 Alumni Arena Training Room: 645-3438; 645-6741 ECMC Emergency Room: 898-3161 Athletic Trainer: Team Physician: 13QhHA5CJ\hHA5CJ\ hHACJ12   ? t  < t 9 : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$h^ha$$ & Fa$$a$Q: /AQ!!!!!!!$h^ha$ 1h/ =!"#$%@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAD Default Paragraph FontVi@V  Table Normal :V 44 la (k@(No List >>@> Title$a$5CJ`OJQJ\Q zQ12?t<t9:/AS00000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0  0  0  0  0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0m;0Q: Q Q 8@0(  B S  ?SSSDivision of Athletics R.T.
