December 5, in the WCBA Jiangsu women's basketball team against the FUSC big body association team game, Jiangsu women's basketball player Sun Li in a shooting by the opposing No. 21 player Gu Yi pupil pad foot, serious injury to the ground, after the game was diagnosed as dislocated ankles, three fracture, ligament tear, Sun Li's career is likely to be declared over.
On the day of the incident, Sun Li's teammate Hu Xinyu pointed out in a personal social media post, Sun Li was injured in the cold floor lying on the floor for nearly 20 minutes, were not able to wait for the emergency vehicle, the scene is also only a so-called listed doctor, basically did not provide any substantial help to Sun Li. It is hard to imagine, as the domestic top professional women's basketball tournament, WCBA medical rescue is so sluggish.
Fortunately, Sun Li did not affect the follow-up treatment, but it is important to point out that if the player in the game fainted, shock symptoms, or brain and heart and other core organs of the injury, there is no timely and professional medical rescue and emergency treatment, 20 minutes of waiting time often bring fatal injuries.
Sports The safety of athletes in competition should always come first. Supporting rescue equipment, professional medical personnel, timely on-site emergency response and standby ambulance should become a necessity of the game, not a decoration. Any large-scale sports event should also establish a comprehensive medical protection system to guard the safety of all the people present.
In foreign countries, especially the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany, the professionalism and scientificity of their medical care can ensure that the injured athletes are provided with the most timely medical help in the first time. As early as a few years ago, Germany's three or four soccer leagues have clearly stipulated that the field must be equipped with emergency vehicles, each game of the professional medical personnel can not be less than six people; the La Liga League also stipulates that the clubs stadiums must be configured to improve the medical security system, once it is found that the stadium's medical assistance is not in line with the mandatory provisions of the club will be subject to fines and even a home ban on the punishment. In the United States, whether it is the NFL, or the NBA, NHL, AED and breathing equipment has become standard, once the player is injured, the team doctor can do within thirty seconds into the field to deal with serious injuries can also ensure that the patient will be sent to the hospital within 10 minutes, such a speed of response and processing speed, praiseworthy, more worthy of learning.
This year's European Cup, Danish player Eriksen fainted in the match with Finland because of heart problems. In just 8 seconds after the collapse, the team doctor arrived at the scene; 14 seconds later, Kjaer summoned the players around Eriksen, built a human wall to provide undisturbed resuscitation environment, 37 seconds, carrying first aid equipment medical personnel rushed into the field; 52 seconds, the AED equipment arrived; 1 minute and 36 seconds, the medical staff began CPR, the whole stadium of fans shouting Eriksen's name, praying for him. 13 minutes and 12 seconds, Eriksen has been able to breathe with the heart. Eriksson was able to breathe on his own with a respirator. The Finnish players and fans applauded all those involved in the rescue from the stands, and Eriksson was then rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Although the situation was urgent, the entire rescue process was orderly, methodical and meticulous. It was because of the clear rescue process and the adherence to the rescue rules by everyone present that Erickson's life could be saved in a short period of time.
Of course, the medical staff on the field, the object of rescue is not only the players, but also coaches, referees, and even the audience off the field.
On the other hand, a fan fainted in the audience because of a sudden illness in the Premier League match between Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur, and was fortunate enough to be treated by the Tottenham team doctor, who was able to save his life.
Currently, there is a big gap between the domestic professional sports league's on-court medical protection work and that of developed countries. First, the number of professional medical personnel on the field of play is in short supply, and the lack of professionalism. In fact, many domestic tournaments are staffed by medical personnel who are more often than not "medical volunteers", who lack the experience and ability to deal with emergencies, and may even cause greater harm due to improper handling. In foreign leagues with higher degree of professionalization, the team doctors and professional ambulance arranged by the organizing committee of the tournament generally come from hospitals and specialized clinics, with licensed physician qualification and many years of clinical experience and experience in team service, they can make special assessment and guidance for athletes' health condition and athletic ability, etc., and make preliminary diagnosis and treatment of injuries at the scene of the tournament. The company's website is also available on the Internet.
Secondly, there is a lack of capital investment in the logistical support of the event.
Specialized medical equipment is often expensive, and some of the more specialized medical emergency equipment needs to be imported from abroad. As the organizers and sponsors of the event, the purchase of these medical equipment and regular maintenance is not a small expenditure, the organizers of the cost considerations, often cut this expenditure.
Third, there is a lack of scientific research in the field of sports medicine.
At present, China's sports injuries and diseases are still a lack of deeper exploration, and some are even still in a blank state, so some of the medical means and methods on the field of play on the field is still relatively backward.
Finally, some tournament organizers still lack the sense of medical protection.
Some of the organizers are still holding on to the idea of not recognizing the importance of the players' lives and health, which is the key to the obstruction of the development of the domestic tournament's medical protection.
From the silver marathon accident half a year ago, to the Sun Li serious injury, are reminding us, any sports event, should always keep in mind the "safety first" bottom line thinking. The implementation of good supporting services and facilities, respect and protect the health of each athlete, is both a responsibility and an obligation.
Hopefully, the alarm will be sounded and similar tragedies will not happen again.
