  • Guidelines for the Storage and Use of Emergency Inhalers and Epi-Pens
    Guidelines for the Storage and Use of Emergency Inhalers and Epi-Pens The Athletic Trainers Section of the Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainer Board receives many questions about the use and storage of inhalers and epi-pens that are not prescribed to a specific individual. The answer to the question differs based on setting. Due to ORC 3313.7110, Procurement of epinephrine auto-injectors by schools and camps, went into effect April 2014, which allows public and nonpublic K-12 schools to obtain and use epi-pens in emergency situations with a prescriber issued protocol. Please reference the Guidance document from the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy which can be found at the following link to guide your policy development related to obtaining, storing, and using an epipen in an emergency situation. http://pharmacy.ohio.gov/Documents/Pubs/Special/DangerousDrugs/Procurement%20of%20Epinephrine%20Autoi njectors%20by%20Schools%20and%20Camps.pdf However, if you work in any other setting pursuant to the Pharmacy Board’s laws and rules, athletic trainers, may legally hold specifically prescribed inhalers and epi-pens for an athlete to use when needed, in accordance with established protocols for use of such emergency medications. Athletic training facilities are prohibited to store and use emergency inhalers and/or epi-pens that are not specifically prescribed to an individual unless the athletic training facility holds a Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs license from the Pharmacy Board. If the facility does hold a Terminal Distributor license, the athletic trainer must still follow the established protocols for use of such emergency medications.

Lynn _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Deborah D. Marino Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. Ronald Otterstetter _______________________________ School Director Dr. Richard S. Glotzer ii ABSTRACT Since certified athletic trainers have been shown to be a key source of nutrition information for athletes, it is essential that they have an adequate amount of nutrition competency in order to appropriately answer questions and make referrals. The purpose of this study was to assess the nutrition competency of certified athletic trainers. Secondary purposes were to determine if differences in nutrition competency existed based on demographics or self-rated level of nutrition competency. An instrument consisting of 9 demographic and 24 nutrition competency questions was developed and reviewed by a panel of experts for face and content validity. After pilot testing, a random sample of 1000 certified athletic trainers working in the high school and collegiate settings were emailed requesting their anonymous participation in the online survey. Descriptive statistics described general competency while ANOVAs and t tests explored potential group differences based on demographics and self-rated level of nutrition competency. All statistics were run using SPSS 15.0 for Mac; tests were considered significant at the p < 0.05 level.
