EMMU rescue to continue to benefit from MIS Motorsport support

Motorsport rescue
service EMMU will continue to be supported by MIS Motorsport in 2014 after the
Kent-based motorsport insurance provider funded the replacement cost of one of
the unit’s patient monitors.

MIS Motorsport
started their support last year when they sponsored the purchase of two
cordless saws for EMMU. The saws are a vital tool in the process of aiding the
extraction of casualties from crashed vehicles.

The new patient
monitor will allow the EMMU crew members to monitor all the parameters
associated with an injured patient including pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen
saturation levels and temperature.

EMMU crew chief
Stuart Westbrook commented: “The patient monitor plays a hugely important part
in dealing with casualties, we can keep track of the main parameters and target
our actions appropriately.”

“I’m very grateful to
MIS Motorsport for their continued support. We are a voluntary service so help
from businesses such as MIS Motorsport is vital in ensuring we can continue to
provide the best quality motorsport rescue service.”

The EMMU rescue
service is based in Morecambe and they cover events all over the UK including
providing cover for the Ford World Rally Team test days. More information can
