Would you know what to do if a player “swallowed their tongue”?! Indeed, can a player actually swallow their tongue? Find out more with the new poster created by FIFA Medical on “what to do when a player’s tongue obstructs their airway”.
A similar poster on sudden cardiac arrests was launched during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Addressing key aspects of football emergency medicine and featuring the same look and feel, both posters serve as quick and easy, step-by-step guides on how to react and potentially save a life.
The posters are available to download at https://www.fifa.com/medical in the four FIFA languages: English, French, German and Spanish. Guidance on dealing with airway obstructions can be found on this poster.
