Concussions and Return-to-Play Decisions
After an athlete sustains any blow to the head, remove him or her from play for at least 20 minutes. Ask the athlete about symptoms and run through the confusion/orientation test, memory test, concentration test, and neurologic tests described on the card. Do not immediately perform the exercise test. If the athlete passes the mental and neurologic tests and appears fully oriented, administer the exercise test and recheck for symptoms.
