Rest-Based Concussion Management of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Providers.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to survey pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) providers on their management of 2 hypothetical acute concussion scenarios. We hypothesized that most providers would recommend a management strategy based on cognitive and physical rest. METHODS:Fifty-nine percent (46/78) of PEM providers that were surveyed completed the study. The survey consisted of 2 clinical scenarios-a female patient with a mild concussion and a male patient with a moderate concussion. Practitioners were asked questions regarding how they would hypothetically manage these patients in terms of recommendations for returning to school and returning to sports. RESULTS:Eighty-six percent of providers recommended moderate time off from school for the moderate concussion scenario compared with 67% of providers in the mild concussion scenario (P = 0.008). In regard to return to sports, all providers recommended moderate time off in both scenarios, including 78% of providers who recommended clearance by a physician in the moderate concussion scenario. CONCLUSIONS:In both of our hypothetical concussion scenarios, including a very mild head injury, most PEM providers surveyed recommended a management strategy that included a moderate degree of a delay of return to school and sports. Given recent evidence suggesting that prolonged rest does not reduce the risk of prolonged concussion symptoms, recommendations of periods of cognitive rest, particularly absences from school, should be approached cautiously. Future studies should examine why providers are recommending rest-based treatment strategies and the potential benefits of active rehabilitation.
