CCPT Delivers EMS Training at National NASCAR Summit

Several members of our Administration team recently were asked to present at the National NASCAR Track Services Summit in Concord, NC. Allan Belcher, Director and Jeff McKinney, Manager gave a presentation on Airway Management of NASCAR drivers.
This included an actual demo of how to manage difficult airway situations for the injured drivers inside of the NASCAR vehicles. They also presented a study on the effects of carbon monoxide on drivers and crews at the track events.
Our OMD, Dr. Carol Gilbert, gave a presentation on "Medical Management of Spectators". Carilion Clinic Patient Transportation has gained a lot of national attention based upon our EMS coverage at the Martinsville Speedway. We are excited to be entering our third year in providing both ground and air EMS coverage for the Martinsville track events-stay tuned for updates from this year's races!
