WELCOME TO Medical Emergencies in Cycling

Transcription

1 WELCOME TO Medical Emergencies in Cycling COLORADO SPRINGS, USA CYCLING This course is not intended as a substitute for residency, fellowship, or in-practice training. Although every effort has been made to provide safe, actionable advice, participants should be aware that this class does not provide a definitive standard of care, rather, reasonable approaches to common scenarios which may occur at cycling events in particular, the dynamic, uncontrolled, and even moving environment of care. Practitioners intending to serve races are obliged to obtain full training in aspects of care relevant to competitive cycling. Taking this course, no matter how successfully, does not guarantee competency. Neither USA Cycling nor the University of California, San Francisco provides any warrantee of fitness nor suitability for any specific event. The participant is encouraged to understand needs and resources, particularly among the scene responders who provide field care and from emergency medical facilities located near events. Cycling, and life in general, are known to the State of California to be hazardous.
