    Loss of Consciousness
    • Causes of LOC can be due to a number of
    reasons;

    – Medical reasons

    – Sports related reasons


    • Medical Reasons
    – Hyper or Hypoglyecemis
    • This condition is due to levels of blood glucose
    which either too high or too low.
    • Prevalent in individuals with diabetic conditions.
    – Heart Attack
    • This is the sudden seizure of the heart due to
    either a congenital heart condition, or blockage of
    the blood vessels.
    • Those with high blood pressure, high body fat
    levels, high levels of stress and those with natural
    heart conditions are at higher risk.
    – Drowning
    • This is the sudden asphyxiation due to the
    ingestion of water.
    • May be due to salt water or fresh water.
    • Salt water – alveolus is flooded due to high salinity
    levels
    • Fresh water – surface area of the lungs are
    covered and gaseous diffusion cannot be carried
    out.
    – Asthmatic Attack
    • This difficulty in breathing is due to the inability of
    the lungs to exchange gases quickly because of
    fluids in the lungs.
    • This may be due to exposure to cold temperatures
    or naturally occurring.
    • Sports Related Reasons
    – Head Injury
    • This may be due to body contact or implemental
    and environmental contact.
    • Especially serious if contact is to the back of the
    head.
    – Shock
    • This refers to the shut down of blood flow to the
    extremities and skin.
    • This due to a number of reasons
    – Hemorrhagic shock
    – Neurogenic shock
    – Cardiogenic shock
    – Septic shock
    – Anaphylactic shock
    – Psychogenic shock
    – Heat Illnesses
    • This condition is due to the influence of high
    temperature to the body’s function especially its
    ability to maintain body temperature.
    • Can be seen as two conditions
    – Heat exhaustion
    – Heat stroke
    • Injury Assessment of LOC
    – Primary Survey
    – CPR if necessary
    – Secondary Survey
    • Assessment can also use the following;
    – TOTAPS
    – HOPS
