Abstract

Ice hockey is considered one of the most demanding sports in the world, therefore athletes must be in excellent physical condition, with well-defined skills and abilities to skate, because the risk of collision is high, due to the speed that is exercised when skating. When a player collides, they can present a traumatic brain injury. In addition, at the moment of impact there may be: lacerations, hemorrhages, contusions, bruises, ischemia, cerebral edema, cerebral hernia. When TCE occurs, the DAL (Diffuse Axonal Injury) is appreciated, in which there is a homeostatic and metabolic imbalance and inflammation. It is necessary to classify the severity of the traumatic patient, evidencing the degree of consciousness or coma, and finally possible post-traumatic amnesia.
