title: Syncope, Bradycardia, and Hypotension After a Lacrosse Shot to the Neck.
abstract: In brief: A lacrosse goalie was hit in the right neck lateral to the cricoid cartilage. He fainted, but responded to conservative measures of supine rest, elevated legs, and close observation. He now wears a neck protector similar to those worn by baseball catchers. This case report emphasizes that someone who is trained in basic life support and understands cardiovascular physiology should attend practices and games.
