Chief executive Richard Scudamore has revealed that the Premier League will attempt to improve medical procedures in the top flight following the collapse of Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba.
The 23-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest during the Trotters' FA Cup quarter-final match at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
"Incidents and events shape policy, shape developments, shape progress," said Scudamore. "What we will certainly be doing is looking at every aspect of what happened and if there are ways and means of improving.
"[We'll look to see] if there are ways and means of making it better in the future, just like we did in 2006-07 following the Petr Cech incident. We will do everything we can to make sure we reduce to the point of elimination, if we possibly can, things like that. There are no guarantees but we will do whatever we can to improve."
Muamba, who has been in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital since Saturday evening, is showing 'signs of improvement' and has begun speaking and recognising his friends and family.
