To enhance player safety, US Lacrosse has long advocated for the presence of an automated external defibrillator (AED) at all lacrosse practices and games. Fortunately, an AED was on-site at last Friday’s high school game in Baltimore between Loyola Blakefield and McDonogh.
Late in the first quarter of the game, Loyola Blakefield’s Peter Laake, a freshman defenseman, was struck in the chest with a shot. He collapsed on the field and immediately received medical attention.
In addition to Loyola Blakefield’s training staff, two doctors came from the stands to assist with administering an AED on the field. A Baltimore County medical team arrived shortly thereafter to render further emergency care, and to transport Laake by ambulance to an area hospital.
