Suffering, dying and death in prehospital care
MAJSTR, Jiří
This thesis is topically focused on suffering, dying and death of a patient (patients) in fore hospital urgent care. It deals with above mentioned phenomena from the paramedic point of view. It refers to the impact of these events on paramedics, their perception of patients at sudden worsening of chronic disease, acute worsening of health state, immediate life threatening or death. The aim of the thesis is to map and interpret the attitude of addressed paramedics to given facts, which they normally encounter in their practice, and the evaluation of reflexive projection of above mentioned experiences into ethical attitude to the patients. The thesis is based on qualitative research. It uses the methods of controlled interview with ten chosen paramedics who have different period of professional practice. The dialogues are transcribed in the chapter called Results of Research. In the thesis the answers to particular questions are compared and the results of the research are the hypotheses which can be evaluated by means of quantitative research in the future.

Performance of hospital emergency team mass take in of patients separation for small, medium and big hospitals (local, district, faculty)
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Lucie
The main objective of my work was to summarize entire information available about performance efficiency of rescue teams (hospitals) at massive reception of patients to hospitals. As a sample, the hospitals in South Bohemia were chosen, and that local, district and teaching hospitals as well. Even that each of the hospitals has their own traumatology emergency plan, you can hardly think of readiness without knowledge of the contents of the plan on the side of the individual administrators involved. In addition, the hospitals do not know accurate or theoretical numbers that would evaluate the performance efficiency of their rescue teams. I have collected the data from current operation of the hospital; from scheduled operation of the hospital under the conditions of massive reception of the likely affected; and from professional literature. Firstly, I focused on various causes of emergency or crisis situations, on classification of those, considering the place of origin, and on their sorting that is used as a base in order to activate the traumatology plan and the rescue team in the hospital. Secondly, I described the pre-hospital medical care at emergency and crisis situations that is covered by the medical rescue service within the Integrated Rescue System-i.e. the time before the traumatology is activated, and the people affected are received into the hospital. Thirdly, I worked with traumatology plans in the hospitals, explaining why they should exist in every hospital. After that, I described the traumatology plans of the individual hospitals that had been chosen as samples. (The Hospital České Budějovice a.s. is a teaching (big) hospital; the Hospital Tábor a.s. is a district hospital (medium type); the Nemocnice Prachatice a. s. is a local (i.e. small) hospital). Then, I processed the responses by head physicians in the trauma centres in the sample hospitals: I had asked questions related to their orientation and knowledge of the performance efficiency of their rescue teams and to activation of the traumatology plan of the hospital at massive reception of the affected. Finally, I confronted my results with the information in professional publications, especially in the article written by MUDr. Pavel Urbánek ``The Link-Up between the Pre-Hospital and Hospital Care in Case of Massive Disaster{\crqq}; then, I compared my results with the hospital medical care and capacity of hospitals in the Netherlands. In conclusion, I present my evaluation of the existing situation, following from the data and knowledge collected; there are proposals of my solutions as well.
