Acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units
HLOBILKOVÁ, Magda
The master's thesis addresses the issue of acute postoperative complications in the conditions of surgical intensive care units from the perspective of a nurse. The thesis consists of theoretical and empirical sections. The theoretical section focuses on the issues of surgery, intensive care units, and acute postoperative complications. The empirical section includes the research's objectives, methodology, and results. Three objectives were set to elaborate on the master's thesis. First objective: To determine the relationship between the length of practice, the highest level of education attained, and nurses'orientation on the issue of acute postoperative complications. Second objective: To determine nurses' interest in education regarding acute postoperative complications. Third objective : To map the most common acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units. The research part of the master's thesis is addressed through a combined research approach involving nurses from surgical intensive care units with different lengths of practice and the highest levels of education attained. The research was conducted in four South Moravian and Zlín hospitals. The quantitative part of the research was carried out through non-standardized questionnaire surveys. The research sample consisted of 138 respondents. The qualitative part was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 10 nurses. Several conclusions can be drawn from the research that was conducted. A statistically significant relationship was observed between nurses' orientation on the issue of acute postoperative complications, length of practice, and the highest level of education attained. With increasing length of practice, nurses' orientation also increases, as does the level of highest education attained. Participating nurses show interest in education on the issue, which the employer does not sufficiently compensate. The most common acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units, from the nurses' perspective, are pain and acute bleeding. The output of the diploma thesis is a proposal for the content of a seminar to increase nurses'orientation in specific acute postoperative complications.

The rate of stress load on standard nursing wards and intensiv care units.
Brzicová, Věra ; Kulhavá, Miluše (advisor) ; Ptáček, Radek (referee)
This thesis deals with the stress, strain and stress level of stress. It examines what more burdens on JIPu sisters and what the standard department, what are the specifics of their work. Compares the work load and nursing department and the standard JIPu. It looks at how the situation affects of stress nurses. It outlines the causes and manifestations of stress effects on the human organism. He is also the burnout that often occurs among workers in the helping professions. The thesis is focused on the shift operation (especially on night shift), relationships at work (sister-sister, sister-doctor), the aggressive behavior of patients, or the lack of sufficient time for patient care. Research method is a questionnaire distributed to the nurses and the internal standard surgical wards and ICU. The evaluation questions of the questionnaire confirms or overthrows the hypothesis that I set at the beginning of research. The hypotheses were confirmed hypotheses 2 and 5 of the hypothesis was not confirmed. It was confirmed that the exchange operation and overload nurses, patient aggression, care of confused patients and bad interpersonal relations a high burden on medical personnel and contributes significantly to the stress load of nurses. In conclusion, I mention that a large role in preventing and...

The needs of the ICU patient after myocardial infarction requiring V-A ECMO support
Procházková, Tereza ; Konopásková, Marie (advisor) ; Pražáková, Zuzana (referee)
Introduction: The coronary heart disease is still an actual topic. The mortality has been in recent years declining, but prevalence in the population stagnates, so involve a large group of patients. The incidence of acute myocardial infarction is still high. One of the methods of reperfusion therapy is the cardiac surgery by coronary artery bypass graft, which may be postoperatively complicated by the development of low cardiac output syndrome with the need of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. These patients require very specialized not only during the critical phase, but also during the long-term convalescence including rehabilitation, weaning from the artificial lung ventilation, self-sufficiency training and help with return to normal life. Literature search: The theoretical part is based on the research of National Medical Library (NLK) and Study and Scientific Library of the Pilsen Region (SVKPL). The PubMed, Scopus, Web of science and Science direct databases were used to search articles in professional publications, including the latest cohort studies. The periodicals Cor et Vasa, the European Heart Journal, Critical Care and the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing were used. An important source of information is the guidelines of the Czech Society of Cardiology (ČKS), European...

Nursing documentation of anesthetist nurses
Prošková, Lenka ; Di Cara, Veronika (advisor) ; Chvojková, Kateřina (referee)
Nursing documentation of anesthetic nurses is not an common type of documentation in our country. In some workplaces, the medical record of anesthesia is supplemented with data needed to identify the nursing care provided. Therefore, nurses do not have their own nursing documentation at these workplaces, but they record the data in the documentation with the doctor, or continue the records on the decree sheet. Each medical facility in our country has its own system of health documentation, which makes a logical, continuous unit. The aim of my research was to find satisfaction of the nurses in the examined medical facility with the established system of medical documentation, more precisely anesthetic nursing documentation, which is related (not only) to surgical procedures. Describe how many documents are created in connection with the operation and which of them affect nursing care records. Whether they are clear, readily available, and capture the necessary data for all nurses involved in patient care in the operational fields. The choice for research was a quantitative survey using a questionnaire prepared in writing. Respondents were surgical nurses, ARO, ICU, adult room and anesthetist nurses. Part of the research was the study of existing papers, which fill anesthetist nurses and documents...
