Summary

The Eric Paredes Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act requires the State Department of Education to post on its internet website guidelines, videos, and an information sheet on sudden cardiac arrest symptoms and warning signs, and other relevant materials relating to sudden cardiac arrest. The act requires a school, each school year, before a pupil participates in an athletic activity governed by the California Interscholastic Federation, to collect and retain a copy of the sudden cardiac arrest information sheet required by the California Interscholastic Federation for that pupil. The act requires an athletic director, coach, athletic trainer, or authorized person, as defined, to remove from participation a pupil who passes out or faints while participating in or immediately following an athletic activity. The act prohibits a pupil who is removed from play for this reason from being permitted to return to participate in an athletic activity until the pupil is evaluated and cleared to return to participate, as provided. This bill would authorize a pupil or the pupil's parent or guardian to request the administration of an electrocardiogram as part of the pupil's evaluation for purposes of being permitted to return to participate in an athletic activity. The bill would require that an electrocardiogram for this purpose be administered by a health care professional whose scope of practice includes the administration and interpretation of electrocardiograms and pursuant to current consensus guidelines for the interpretation of electrocardiograms, as provided. The bill would require the information sheet posted on the department's internet website to additionally include information about electrocardiograms and to provide notification of the option to request the administration of an electrocardiogram for the above-stated purpose. The bill would require the California Interscholastic Federation to include information about electrocardiograms on any information sheet on sudden cardiac arrest.
