Abstrakt: The foundation of preventing and treating an on-field emergency is preparation and readiness. The sideline medical team should coordinate the utilization of an emergency action plan (EAP). A successful EAP is accomplished through attention to detail, rehearsal, and self-assessments. Every EAP should include site-specific implementation, personnel, equipment, communication, transportation, venue location, emergency care facilities, and documentation. Improvements and advancements can be made to the EAP by self-evaluation after each on-field emergency and yearly reviews. A competent sideline emergency medical team can enjoy the competition while being ready to respond to a catastrophic on-field emergency.
