Abstract
As the field of sports medicine has evolved and expanded, emergency preparedness has become a critical skill in the repertoire of the sideline physician. While the large majority of medical encounters are nonemergent and self-limited, both quick recognition and appropriate response to life-threatening conditions are critical to a favorable outcome in a collapsed athlete.
