Training of a rescue paramedic to undertake rescue activities in difficult terrain
REICHOVÁ, Natálie
The title of this bachelor thesis is "Training of rescue paramedic to undertake rescue activities in difficult terrain". The thesis is split into two parts - a literature review and a research. Literature review focuses on particular bodies of the Integrated Rescue System that can provide rescue operations in hard to access terrain. These bodies are: Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, Mountain Rescue Service of the Slovak Republic, Height Rescue Department of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region and Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. A short overview is provided for each body, with description of the specialized preparation - theoretical as well as practical and availability and quality of equipment. The research focuses on a comparison of physical, psychological and theoretical preparedness of representatives from each emergency service body. The research also analyses the technical and safety & rescue equipment of each body. As a methodology we used a qualitative research conducting semi-structured interviews with three mountain rescue paramedics from Mountain Rescue Service of the Slovak Republic, with three members of the Height Rescue Department of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region, who are also flight paramedics, with three firefighters from the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, and one mountain rescue paramedic from the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. The aim of the research is to compare physical preparadness and the level of its difficulty, theoretical and practical preparedness, level of psychological difficulty, the availability of psychological intervention, the availability and quality of equipment and different types and kinds of rescue activities in each of the interviewed bodies. The findings indicate that the biggest differences across the emergency services bodies interviewed are in the level of physical preparedness and difficulty. Firefighters and mountain rescue paramedics in both countries have to take part in physical preparation and are also regularly tested in it. Whereas flight paramedics don't have to take part in any physical preparation or any regular testing as part of their employment

Macan, Antonín ; Vondrášek, David (advisor) ; Vilášek, Josef (referee)
Title: Usage of Rope Techniques in Diving Practice of the Services of the Integrated Emergency System Objective: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is creating a compiled material on using ropes and rope techniques in diving practice of the services of the Integrated Emergency System. Method: The main method for this thesis was compiling information from a wide range of available literature which deals with rope techniques and transferring their use into conditions of diving practice of the emergency services. Important sources for the thesis were personal interviews with experienced rope access workers, divers and rescue workers. The thesis also utilizes personal experience of the author. Results: Collected material on usage of rope techniques used in diving by emergency services not only in underwater conditions, but also when access to water surface and transport from water are difficult. Using these rope techniques valuably increases safety of the divers and using them is suitable not only in emergency services, but for all divers who find themselves in such conditions, where it is advisable or even necessary to use such techniques. Key words: Diving, ropes, rope technique, emergency services

Air services in the Czech Republic, their possibilities and efficiency rate when used in emergency situations
SEDLÁK, Milan
The thesis deals with the current state of how air services are used within the Integrated Rescue System (IRS); it analyzes the level of equipment, possibilities of use and deployment of such technologies in emergency situations; and evaluates technical, qualitative and quantitative levels of all means that air services use in emergency situations. The thesis also puts emphasis on the analysis of dislocation of these means, its advantages and suitability when scrutinized in terms of quality, speed and efficiency of their deployment in emergency security situations, rescue operations, or their deployment during natural disasters. The outcome of the thesis comprises of proposals how to comprehensively amend applicable laws; and of conclusions that may help instigate discussion on the observed shortfalls, and how to increase efficiency, economy, and logical scheme leading to a timely response in emergency situations. The empirical part of thesis includes quantitative and qualitative researches which scrutinized two research corpuses. Tackling the first research corpus, the author used questionnaires to collect data technically. The questionnaires were aimed at members of the basic units of the IRS components. The outcomes of the questionnaires are shown in graphs. Tackling the second research corpus, the author held semi-structured interviews with expert representatives of subjects that provide air services within the IRS. Assessment of the outcomes was based on the transcriptions of the interviews which involved inserting the data into tables summarizing the most important outcomes of the research. Subsequently, these outcomes were used to identify the most important theses which were based on the answers provided by the respondents to research questions. The research also included an analysis of the available legal standards and documents related to the use of air services to provide efficient intervention, their assessment and identification of some criteria for de lege ferenda proposals to comprehensively amend selected laws. In conclusion, it was found out that there is poor awareness of possibilities how to use air services among the members of the basic units in individual IRS components, which results in insufficient deployment of Air Services while carrying out interventions.

Coordination department of integration rescue system with clinbing and rescue work
HODINA, Miroslav
The thesis entitiled "The coordination of units of the Integrated Emergency Service System at height and at altitude" deals in the chapter "Current situation" with the development and history of climbing as such and the beginnings of Czech mountaineering, a definition of the Integrated Emergency Service System including all its component parts and also how climbing disciplines pervade the units of the emergency services. It also describes the various sorts of rescue work performed by the Integrated Emergency Service System. Above all however it gives a view of the activities and equipment of climbers and climbing groups in the Fire Service. It also contains a brief description of the use of individual cable techniques, the basics of knot tying, rescue methods, materials, aids, and individual procedures for work at height and at altitude. The aim of the thesis is to map the individual cable techniques and rescue methods of climbing groups and to present a statistical summary of rescues by climbing groups in the Czech Republic over the last five years. For research purposes I have used statistics from the SSU/ZOZ programme. These figures are shown in charts and graphs. It can be seen that there has been an equally large amount of work performed during the last five years at height and at altitude. In Southern Bohemia however the trend of rescues by climbing groups over the last five years has been a growing one. During 2009 the most frequent type of rescue according to the statistics was from trees. The question set at the outset of the research was therefore confirmed.
