- Audit of the Extrication Exercise
- Medical Inspection before the start of the event
- Control and coordination of the emergency elements in case of an accident
- Determination of the destination hospital and organization as well as determination of the means of transport
- Contacting authorities and external emergency services in case of a major accident
- and many more. (see FIA Medical Code, Annex H; Medical Code FIM)
Notärzte und Fachärzte
Medical personnel represent the highest level of qualification in the care of injured motor sportsmen. Due to the high-velocity trauma and the associated injuries, optimal pre-clinical care of the injuries can usually only be carried out by an experienced emergency physician.
Most of the physicians working at Emergency Medical Service sports Austria are emergency physicians who also perform this activity as part of their profession and thus have sufficient experience in the treatment of a wide variety of injury patterns. At major events, specialists (anesthesiologists, surgeons, radiologists, etc.) are also present to practice their special skills (e.g. ultrasound examinations) at the Medical Center.
