The Problem of Distal Cannulation by Medical Rescuer in Pre-Hospitalization Care
BRATRÁNEK, Pavel
At present, an absolute necessity for health workers is knowledge of the way how to access the bloodstream both in an area of the pre-hospital care and in an area of the health care. The bloodstream is an ideal choice in cases when times plays a major role in the onset of a drug. In my bachelor thesis I focused on issues regarding an assurance of the peripheral bloodstream by a medical rescue worker in the pre-hospital emergency care. I concentrated on the assurance of an intravenous access and at present more and more discussed intraosseous entry. Nowadays, when a lot of medical rescue workers yearn for raising their competences, it is necessary to think if they really know and apply these basic skills while assuring the peripheral bloodstream. An aim of the thesis was to determine if medical rescue workers have an appropriate theoretic preparation and if they know principles of the assurance of the peripheral bloodstream, if they follow these procedures in practice and if there are any differences in the issues of the assurance of the peripheral bloodstream at chosen regional centres of Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region given by a different driving distance to a hospital facility. A quantitative research was selected as a method applied. An anonymous questionnaire was used as a technique of the data collection. It was distributed to medical rescue workers operating at Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region. The results of the research showed that medical rescue workers did not have very deep knowledge in case of the intravenous entry but on the contrary they had good knowledge of the intraosseous access. It was also proved that medical rescue workers did not follow prescribed procedures during the intravenous cannulation and not all of them used safety devices. Another result of the research is a fact that medical rescue workers have theoretic knowledge of the intraosseous cannulation but they do not have enough practical experience with it. The last of the most important results of the research was the finding that medical rescue workers in České Budějovice cannulate with a lower frequency than medical rescue workers from other regional centres where there are not so noticeable differences. On the grounds of the data obtained I think that the results of the research included in the bachelor thesis could be used to deepen theoretical knowledge of medical rescue workers in the area of cannulation issues of the peripheral bloodstream.
