To emphasize the importance of decreasing the response time by a trained target responder to increase the survival rate among athletes experiencing sudden cardiac arrest at an athletic event. BACKGROUND: Death due to sudden cardiac arrest that is witnessed is preventable in many cases. However, most people who experience this condition die because of a prolonged response time from onset of the fatal arrhythmia to defibrillation by trained treatment providers. If athletic trainers or other members of the athletic care medical team are trained as target responders and equipped with automated electronic defibrillators, they can immediately treat an athlete who experiences a sudden, life-threatening tachyarrhythmia. This prompt response to the life-threatening emergency should result in a higher survival rate. DESCRIPTION: We review the causes of sudden cardiac arrest during athletic events, note some unusual clinical presentations, discuss improved methods of response and new equipment for treatment, and define the athletic trainer's role as a target responder trained to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest at an athletic event. CLINICAL ADVANTAGES: An athletic care team willing to become part of an emergency response team can help improve the survival rate of athletes experiencing sudden cardiac arrest at an athletic event.
强调训练有素的目标响应者缩短响应时间对于提高体育赛事中心脏骤停运动员存活率的重要性。背景：在许多情况下，目睹的心脏骤停导致的死亡是可预防的。然而，大多数经历这种情况的人死亡是因为从致命性心律失常发作到训练有素的治疗人员进行除颤的响应时间过长。如果运动训练师或运动护理医疗团队的其他成员接受目标响应者培训并配备自动体外除颤器，他们可以立即治疗突发危及生命的快速心律失常的运动员。对危及生命的紧急情况的这种迅速反应应能提高存活率。描述：我们回顾体育赛事中心脏骤停的原因，注意一些不寻常的临床表现，讨论改进的响应方法和新的治疗设备，并确定运动训练师作为经过培训在体育赛事中治疗心脏骤停患者的目标响应者的作用。临床优势：愿意成为应急响应团队一部分的运动护理团队可以帮助提高体育赛事中心脏骤停运动员的存活率。
