Many articles have reviewed medical care at mass gatherings, but few have specifically looked at care provided during football games. Some of the largest gatherings occur at various stadiums during football season.
We analyzed the medical care provided for the spectators at Williams-Brice Stadium for the University of South Carolina 1995 football season. The average attendance per game was 69,427; seven home games were played. Six physician/nurse/paramedic/paramedic teams provided medical care using prehospital equipment.
Medical care was given to 526 individuals, an average of 1.08 +/- 0.37 per 1,000 spectators per game. Records of 465 persons (88%) were available for review. The most common complaints were headache (48%), trauma (16%), gastrointestinal distress (10%), and environmental (7%). Nineteen patients (4%) required transport to nearby hospitals for further evaluation.
These results reflect patients with medical complaints seen during one collegiate football season in South Carolina. We believe this information can be used in planning medical care needs at other mass gatherings.
许多文章回顾了大型活动中的医疗护理情况,但很少有专门关注足球比赛期间提供的护理。在足球赛季,一些最大规模的集会在各个体育场馆举行。
我们分析了1995年南卡罗来纳大学威廉姆斯 - 布赖斯体育场为观众提供的医疗护理情况。每场比赛的平均上座人数为69427人;共进行了七场主场比赛。六个医生/护士/护理人员/急救人员团队使用院前设备提供医疗护理。
共为526人提供了医疗护理,平均每场比赛每1000名观众中有1.08±0.37人接受治疗。有465人(88%)的记录可供审查。最常见的症状是头痛(48%)、外伤(16%)、胃肠道不适(10%)和环境相关问题(7%)。19名患者(4%)需要转运到附近医院进行进一步评估。
这些结果反映了南卡罗来纳州一个大学足球赛季期间出现医疗症状的患者情况。我们认为这些信息可用于规划其他大型活动的医疗护理需求。
