The doctor of the Swiss national team to put on the brakes. On Saturday, he had Fabian Schär against Georgia, despite a heavy blow to the head continue to play. On Sunday, the Association reported, in the case of warping, no worrying symptoms could be found””. Now the turn: The defender will not play on Tuesday against Denmark.
team doctor Damian Meli reasoned this way: “The return to the Sport after such a collision a certain amount of time. Usually, a player needs a few days to be gradual to use.” Meli met the decision against the will of the warping, the wanted to play again.
“Anything other than this decision would be funny,” says Gery Büsser. He is a Swiss reference in the brain shocks. Büsser sits with four colleagues in the medical Committee of the football Association, is the head doctor at the Schulthess clinic, team physician of zürich and head of the Swiss Olympic Medical Center. He and his colleagues are not good of what happened in Tbilisi. For him, as his Commission colleagues, it is clear that the warping may play after the clash against Georgia.
Too many bad characters
Büsser can explain why this is so. He sees warping in the TV pictures after the bulging bag. He sees how the warping of a Georgians react in the mouth to grab. He watched, as if in a daze archipelago sits during the care, as he expresses later trouble when getting Up. And he reads that warping can’t remember whether he’s just been unconscious as he reported a “spongy feeling”. He says: “It really gave all the signs that indicate a concussion.”
Meli slowed warping anyway. He argued that the archipelago was “awake and responsive”, as he had found him. It is not enough for a penitent. The so-called neuro-cognitive findings with questions to the players was only part of the assessment. In addition, there are many others: “The accident mechanism with strong impact. And most of all: the archipelago is not in accordance with the clash in full possession of his senses.”
The last fact alone is a compelling reason to take the warping off the field. The suspected diagnosis of a concussion, will due as a result of a disturbance of Consciousness. It need not unconscious, more like, perhaps, it was defined 20 years ago.
Büsser and his colleagues are angry about the case, because you want to preserve the Sport before, “in the brain vibration stone age” to fall back. The issue is much too serious. After a concussion, the affected brain cells are very vulnerable. A further, already small event, can have a devastating and in the worst case, deadly consequences.
the archipelago, and that the Swiss Delegation had luck. The 27-Year-old with two key passes, had a large share in the 2:0 to the Swiss, is specially, but not a miracle and for Büsser certainly no justification. He reports a case from the NHL, as the Finn Sami the ice, Kapanen was able to Check only on all fours to leave, a few minutes later the game in overtime decided by one goal. Only After that, he was nine months. He had maxed the System out to the Last.

For the rest after a concussion, the body needs time, at least seven days in accordance with the so-called Return-to-Play Protocol. Ten percent of all brain shocks long term consequences.
doctor must know
Büsser enforce how difficult it is for the doctor or supervisor, in a matter of seconds to decide. He knows that the doctors can come under pressure, because the player wants to continue. Because of the Trainer or other circumstances can create pressure. His conclusion is still clear. The physician should prevail in such moments.
In North America, the mechanisms are ineffective due to large campaigns – that’s where the warping would not be returned. He is convinced that “we are also aware of the Swiss ice hockey strong”. The football is apparently not yet so far. Plump heads together, in deep leagues or in the juniors, is often played, when it comes somehow. “Unfortunately so,” says Büsser, “but it must not be so. And that is why I and my colleagues were able to let the case pass without comment.” (Editorial Tamedia)
