MACH, Rostislav
In the thesis "Comprehensive approach of emergency medical services provider to a highly-contagious patient transportation" we concentrated on nursing care and aspects of transportation administered by operating paramedics, all in cases that public health authorities suspect to be related to a highly - contagious disease and transportation in isolated transportation vehicle is mandated. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the key concepts of highly - contagious disease, it describes individual causal agents of contagious diseases and their ways of transmission to humans. For description of contagious diseases were chosen those with high morbidity, lethality and interpersonal transmission. We mention the danger of biological agents misuse, ways of protection against contagious diseases and types of decontamination procedures. We describe different means of personal protection used by biohazard team members and even environmental factors affecting the work of paramedics using personal protective agents. Further on, we bring to attention legal aspects and inner policies related to aforementioned issues including analysis of procedure logistics of emergency services teams dealing with emergencies with suspicion of highly - contagious disease. Research in practical part of the thesis concentrates on aims related to optimizing nursing care for patients suspected of suffering from a highly - contagious disease, when securing them in the transportation vehicle, furthermore, we examine the impact of personal protective agents used by paramedics when transporting the patient, and we also analyze environmental factors inside the ambulance vehicle and isolated personal transportation vehicle. All of these aims were researched with the help of planned experiments and the resulting findings are based on the outcomes of these experiments.
