The role of education and training of medical personnel for cases of multiple casualty incidents in circuit motorsport races
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Triage is a very important part of the Major Incident care. To perform an effective triage it is necessary to have well-trained triage personnel, a good triage system and also a triage documentation. These components can prove particularly important in managing mass casualty incidents at motorsport events. The following paper demonstrates, after a short description of the particular situation at such event, how effective a good documentation, and education can be. We measured the time of the triage, and accuracy in two triage scenarios – before and after new documentation and education – during the events at the Hungaroring. We realized, that education and a good triage system and documentation has a significant role in shorter triaging time, and in the effectiveness of triage.
