What timing... I'm a first-year Master of Athletic Training student at Penn State and we literally just had our spine boarding practical last week. I also plan on obtaining my EMT cert next semester. Stuff like this reminds you to always keep your skills in check and be prepared for any situation. I have been watching your videos since around the start of COVID, but after finishing my degree in Kinesiology last year (also Penn State, we are), I have genuinely learned so much from your content and apply it to my studies. Keep up the good work, Doc! Thank you!
Thank you Dr Sutterer for this excellent look into the hit and injury. It is encouraging to see the high level of medical attention DuBose received, and I believe all NFL teams should do the same. Prayers for Grant and his family.
This play had nothing to do with the turf. I agree but even if it was real grass, there was helmet to helmet and his head slammed into the ground, that’s going to hurt and cause this on turf or grass
@@mystimallowYes and no. The hit into the defender can’t be stopped. BUT on natural grass there is quite a bit more cushion for the follow-up force that could change the outcome of this. Natural grass and drier are FAR softer than turf on concrete. So yes, all concussions and concussion possible situations can be potentially improved with real grass
I’m glad someone also decided to explain this and I was going to post my thoughts as well but I wanted to see if any doctors were watching because although I’m a palliative care nurse, I’m not a doctor who can give more diagnostic information. I’ve only just started to watch your video but I still wanted to comment. Thank you for doing this so quickly!
As a first-year master's student for athletic training, I LOVEEEEE your videos! A lot of the injuries you have covered are things we go over in class, but having your explanations over real-life examples has helped me learn a great deal. It makes me feel a lot more prepared for any traumatic injuries I may encounter while on the sidelines. Thank you for all the great explanations!
First year Master of Athletic Training student at Penn State's program and we just had our spine boarding practical last week... seeing videos like this is a sobering reminder to always be prepared to jump in and save a life
@@d_stef Absolutely. I get to work at a nearby highschool for the semester as part of the program at Texas A&M and we had an incident early in the football season where we had to send one of our players to the ER. Thankfully it was more as a precaution and not because of the severity of his injury, but being thrown right into a case like that really makes you appreciate all the medical staff involved with sports who are well-prepared for these moments. Soon that will be us! Good luck with your program!
It appears he had LOC, right upon impact, based on how both his head lost all protective reactions as the back of the head was hitting the ground, as well as how the ball had been coming out immediately. I pray he fully recovers
excellent video. very detailed and i learned alot. very scary situation to be in with a head injury but knowing you have the best medical staff there knowing what they need to do in the moment is amazing.
Could you make a video on mouthguards and if they help prevent concussions. I never see any players actually use them and they just dangle from the facemask
This type of play if gonna happen more and more with QBs throwing the ball right over the middle like that. Dude didnt even get popped like they use too
Main thing they stressed in the EMT portion of the Fire Academy is that in trauma, once you take C-spine. You LIVE THERE! That is how your home, your office, your bedroom. That person is Joe your best friend, your damn sibling. You do NOT release c-spine until they get a collar and secured on a board. That persons neck is your HOME!
If they had to access the neck and to do it completely, the helmet had to come off and the most appropriate thing to do with the pads is to cut them away so that you can maintain a neutral spine. It's more difficult to get that neutral spine if the helmet is removed and the pads stay on. So it may just be that. Another reason could be that they need to ensure a neutral spine and the pads make that very difficult when rolling someone on their side to assess the back. The monitor can be placed in other locations to get your initial trace. I had to do this most often while in the car with patients who were being extricated and complaining on non-traumatic chest pain. Ideally though it should be place on the core to decrease interference while going down the road. The IV can be obtained anywhere on the limbs and with orders on the neck in some places. So this wouldn't necessarily be a reason to remove the pads or jersey.
TB12 talked about always trying to make passes to his WRs who weren't headed for a surprise hit/ injury. He'd rather pass on throwing the reception to his vulnerable WR
It’s the way the game has changed. Back in the day QBs wouldn’t put their receivers in that situation. Because of the rule changes nobody fears going over the middle so QBs don’t fear throwing it there.
@@goroadachi9489 What exactly is the lie? They’ve changed the rules and receivers don’t fear going over the middle like they used to. It gets talked about all the time. If receivers aren’t fearful of going over the middle, QBs aren’t going to be fearful of throwing it there. I never said that Tua tried to throw him into a bad spot. But QBs, in general, are less concerned about throwing over the middle because defenders can’t lay out receivers the way they used to be able to. Back in the day that throw would’ve been low and away from the defender, not leading the receiver into the defender, but the protection of receivers from the rules has made ball placement less of a concern than it used to be. Obviously they’re not trying to throw their receivers into vulnerable spots but they’re less focused on protecting them than giving them a chance to catch the ball. 20 years ago that ball never would’ve been thrown in that spot.
Thank you doctor Sutterer on your explanation and analysis on awful injury to mr. Dubose. What can be done to prevent this in the future? Praying for mr. Dubose, who was just playing in his first game in a while
Question, in Dubose's case, his head was off centerline as he lay, what is the protocol in that situation as far as straitening it for a collar and then board?
At 5:11 the paramedic and the woman in the red hat (both standing at the players feet area) were drawing a liquid from a vile into a syringe. The paramedic looked to be holding the syringe and the woman in the red hat looked to be holding the liquid vile. What might that been all about?
The guy pointed out as possibly the head athletic trainer seems to have a weird extra bend in his arms unless those are somebody else's hands stabilizing the player's head.
Mahomes has a high ankle sprain. That was a hip drop tackle. They have the rule but I don't think the officials know what it is. It's not been called all season. My husband and I have seen it happen with no flags.
I appreciate these videos but when they’re about a serious injury, I don’t think you should include an advertisement. Plugging your Patreon at the end and asking us to subscribe would be more appropriate in my opinion.
Its the NFL, injuries are a part of the sport and they make money knowing full well what will happen to players. Why shoudn't Brian? There is no way you can say Brian is exploiting and not talk about the NFL or even fans who pay to watch but complain that the league is getting soft for making more rules to prevent injury that slows the game or causes a lot of flags. If he was exploiting a random person's injury that didn't agree, i'd get it, but the NFL is public viewing and its meant to be watch for entertainment. Brian isn't even doing it for entertainment but for education.
Also if they want to stop concussions then just stop it. Make the helmets so thick and padded that a concussion can’t happen. If I built a helmet that was 1” larger with foam of the right density there is no way they would get concussions and the weight of the new helmet would only be about 8 ounces more. We also need to build a helmet or pads that won’t allow the neck to snap hard (whiplash) one way or the other.
Thank you for this really informative breakdown on such a scary-looking situation. In a situation like this, when they’re afraid to disrupt the head and neck, how do they remove the helmet? I understand how the facemask can be taken off, but there aren’t visible screws for the helmet itself.
Having never played football myself, I am genuinely curious abouty something. How do you remove the helmet from a player on whom you are trying to stabilize their neck?
Athletic Trainer here, when stabilizing the spine you would have another person assist from the front in stabilizing the cervical spine. Since the facemask has been removed, the helmet can then be tilted off of their head and removed.
Yes. During fellowship, worked with a NFL team. The first day of training camp, we (medical staff) met with a hired group of athletic trainers whose sole job was to review on field emergencies and then practice scenarios. We even had the chief of neurosurgery (from the receiving hospital), who isn’t on the sideline, present so he could witness how it goes down. The red hats gathered around-ER docs who are present on sidelines in case intubation needs to take place. Enjoy the game.
Do physicians in the red hands whom you say also will intubate if needed, ride in the ambulance as well? The EMS paramedics are also trained and authorized to intubate if needed
I'd love for you to make a post/video or at least mention in one of your videos that contrary to what's shown in movies AEDs are not used to restart the heart, and usually used for someone in v-fib. Tbat CPR and then IV meds are the ways trauma physicians restard the heart. I'm not sure why this has become a fearure in movies, but too many people believe that AEDs shock people who have no pulse back into sinus rhythm. I'd love for you to make a mention and address this myth so that the average person who's not in the medical field can learn that bewides serious medical intervention, CPR is the best way to get the heart pumping. I think a lot of people would make the mistake of searching for an AED when they should be giving chdzf compressions. Also just for reference, my father is a vascular and general surgeon, mother is his PA, and while I'm not a medical professional, I have worked for hospital administration and grew up in healthcare.
I can’t remember seeing them use that many leads of an EKG. Most of the time it’s just a three lead. Perhaps the neck impact and twisting could have affected the arteries in his neck. A while back you did an episode on Dylan Larkin of the Red Wings. I think he has a preexisting condition.
When are we going to start talking about the fact that the NFL gets more serious head injuries more commonly than rugby (where they dont have helmets). This is in my view partly due to the fact that the types of hit in this video don't happen in rugby, but also because NFL players don't try and tackle a lot of the time, they far too often just try and put hits on offensive players.
If they didn't wear the helmets and pads, they'd actually have to learn to tackle each other. Glad he's okay but you can't see properly and there's an inclination to try to hit harder when "protected".
In football it has to be a helmet to helmet hit before a flag can be thrown . In this case DuBose lowered his helmet and hit the center of the defensive players chess pad and not his helmet . The defensive player did nothing wrong .
@@southernbelle55731. The second defender was just trying to catch the ball. 2. He didn’t land on Dubose. 3. There wasn’t a penalty they threw the flag because of a big collision but nothing happened…
looks like he was out after he lowered his head and took the initial contact, the following looked to be insult to injury. I say this all the time, offensive players need to stop doing this. This is now the second time a player has lowered their head and ended up in a bad way this season, both happening on Miami. Tua was the last person that did it against Buffalo in September, Miami really needs to address this as their players continue to take concussions from lowering their head. It's reckless and not smart, lower the shoulder not the head or even safer, just get down. Your head should ALWAYS be up, NEVER down towards the ground to anticipate contact.
So I’ve looked at this many times and Grant DuBose lowered his head with intent to hit the Texan in the helmet so is Grant DuBose going to get fined or a few weeks off? No, of course not. It’s always the other guy. The Texans had his head in place and Grant D lowered his head to hit him which actually didn’t cause the bad injury. The injury happened when his head hit the ground. Anyway these guys have to tackle so they get into motion to do so then the other guy will lower their head and their heads line up and hit. It happens every game on every team and it’s normal football. This Texan did nothing wrong but Greg D did everything wrong with intent to cause harm. Ok in saying that I hope he will be ok soon. Truth is he will have CTE as I have and his quality of life will be horrible yet he will live but he will have to be in anxiety and depression meds for life. He will also life or feeling dizzy,off balance, irregular heartbeats, poor concentration, etc. The only way he might not have CTE is because he’s black and it’s a fact their heads do much better in head injuries than white people
All I see is a 4 lead or 3 lead on him and not a 12 lead along with O2 via nasal cannula and a BP cuff and pulse oximeter. I don’t see any IV access or defibrillator pads on him.
It won’t be the doctors or nurses or the x ray machines or MRI machines that help him, they won’t do anything. With the power of “PRAYER AND GOD” he will be healed. Good grief.

That is the definition of a hospital ball. Can't even blame the defender.
they need to go back to natural grass... carpet over concrete is to damn dangerous and creates to many knee and head injuries
This play had nothing to do with the turf. I agree but even if it was real grass, there was helmet to helmet and his head slammed into the ground, that’s going to hurt and cause this on turf or grass
Grass would only help in warmer climates

Could you make a video on mouthguards and if they help prevent concussions. I never see any players actually use them and they just dangle from the facemask
Mouthguards aren't about preventing concussions, they're about protecting your teeth during all those times something hits your head

Whenever you have a head injury you have to consider the c-spine as well
The head ATC did the right thing always error on the side of caution 🙏🏼
Really scary... I wonder what seeing this happen to someone else was like for Tua knowing he was in that spot himself a couple times

It may be controversial but I blame Tua for this. There was no way that Grant wasn’t going to get hit during that play
Tough position for the WR in blame Tua as well but good defense as the route wasn’t open and he chose to force it
TB12 talked about always trying to make passes to his WRs who weren't headed for a surprise hit/ injury. He'd rather pass on throwing the reception to his vulnerable WR

Tua threw a hospital ball. The defender didn't even lower his head, nor was he moving fast. Debose lowers his head and hits the defender in the chest.

Chub also broke a foot
Question, in Dubose's case, his head was off centerline as he lay, what is the protocol in that situation as far as straitening it for a collar and then board?

I’m trying to figure out how the neck brace is put on without moving the head AT ALL. 🤔
As I'm watching this another player on the Eagles went down, sheesh 🙏
How do you take that tight fitting helmet off the neck if the neck is in question?
All a helmet is these days, is a screwed in collection of parts.
They unscrew the facemask, release air from the pads, and gently remove the helmet.
The guy pointed out as possibly the head athletic trainer seems to have a weird extra bend in his arms unless those are somebody else's hands stabilizing the player's head.

He will also life or feeling dizzy,off balance, irregular heartbeats, poor concentration, etc. The only way he might not have CTE is because he’s black and it’s a fact their heads do much better in head injuries than white people
Can you talk about Pat Surtains injury
Prayers for DeBose 🙏

The safer they try to make the game the more injuries I see. Something has to change. These fields are garbage also.
Other players heads have give that turf doesn't
Seems kinda overkill for a concussion
Hospital pass
All I see is a 4 lead or 3 lead on him and not a 12 lead along with O2 via nasal cannula and a BP cuff and pulse oximeter. I don’t see any IV access or defibrillator pads on him.
Thoughts and prayers are IN network for this guy.
It won’t be the doctors or nurses or the x ray machines or MRI machines that help him, they won’t do anything. With the power of “PRAYER AND GOD” he will be healed. Good grief.
@@antoniotrejo9240 HAHA!!! Dude, I have an applied science health degree. I was talking about how I'm pulling for this guy and not the DDD victim, where "Thoughts and prayers were out of network." for most UA-cam commenters.
Was he awake and alert?
paralyzed... am no doc, but saw the life get off him with a second... we have seen that before.. stingley, byxrd, utley, etc, etc..
New video coming soon for some guy that broke his leg on the lions
