Körblerová, Jana ; Kordulová, Pavla (advisor) ; Maffei Svobodová, Ludmila (referee)
Tracheostomy is a mutilating procedure and It may be a source of physical, psychological and social trauma for the patient. An average of 170 permanent tracheostomies per year are performed in the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part I focused on species, indications and complications of tracheostomy and tracheostomy cannulas. I also described a complex care of a patient with the permanent tracheostomy including education. I drew on information from the available materials of the Czech Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the ČLS JEP, from guidelines of the Australian Agency for Clinical Innovation Chatswood and The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. My other resources of information were BMC, EBSCO, ProQuest, Medline databases. In the case study, I described the nursing and educational process in the patient who underwent total laryngectomy surgery, from admission to dismiss. The case study includes an assessment of the patient's health status according to Majory Gordon's functional health model. I got all the information from an interview with a patient, from medical records, and from the provision of nursing care. Methods: The case study of the patient after the total laryngectomy surgery including the model of functional health, according to Majory Gordon. Aim of the...

Nursing process hemodialysed patient
Šmajda, Dávid ; Kordulová, Pavla (advisor) ; Maffei Svobodová, Ludmila (referee)
Chronic renal failure is often asymptomatic and painless. Many sick people realize too late that something is happening with their body or kidney function. In renal failure, a complex metabolic disorder arises and water and electrolyte imbalances occur. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is irreversible and a large number of patients must subsequently undergo hemodialysis treatment, which only substitutes kidney work, but does not heal the kidneys themselves. Hemodialysis is currently one of the most widespread methods of renal replacement. Thanks to continuous technological development, it extends the life of patients by several decades and thus improves their lives with chronic kidney disease. The bachelor thesis describes the issue of nursing care of patients included in the hemodialysis program. In the theoretical part of the thesis I describe the issue of chronic renal insufficiency. Furthermore, I focus on the elimination methods of this disease and the necessary vascular approaches for hemodialysis for these patients. In my work I also describe the specifics of nursing care for patients in the hemodialysis program. I have elaborated the thesis on the basis of searching for relevant sources for the given issue. I drew on resources from the National Medical Library, where literature searches were...

Every minute that the resuscitation is not performed a chance of survival of people affected with sudden cardiac arrest decreases by 10 - 12%. GOALS AND METHODOLOGY: The main research problem was an evaluation of the level of knowledge of techniques of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation with public in South Bohemia. The next goal was to map the interest of the public in South Bohemia in education in CPR. For working out of the empirical part the method of quantitative research was chosen in the form of a questionnaire which I made. The questionnaire contained 35 questions. The research sample was made of nonselected public in South Bohemia and the choice of informants was random. The collection of data was performed by direct questioning of passers-by in streets, shopping centres, in towns and...

In some cases, the disease might have long incubation time but then very fast progression and in all cases, it ends with death. Nowadays we do not know curative treatment and the patient depends only on palliative treatment. The main goal of my Thesis is to describe a nursing care of a patient with this disease and to emphasize the importance of the palliative care. Partial goal is to describe disease progression (clinical condition of the patient) from the admission to the hospice until the end of her life (total of 27 days) and to increase knowledge about this disease among the medical staff. I also set a goal to find out specifics of care of patients with this disease. The Thesis is written as case report of a specific patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
