concussion protocols
Head trauma procedures
Concussion protocols are standardized procedures for identifying, evaluating, and managing head injuries, especially in sports.
They typically require removing a player from competition after a suspected concussion and clearing specific steps before returning: He's in concussion protocol and won't play Sunday.
The phrase gained prominence as awareness of brain injury risks increased in professional athletics.
