Milibari, Hussam ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title The effect of airway clearance techniques on patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Objective The main purpose of this study is to expose and evaluate the efficacy of airway clearance techniques on patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by using pulmonary functions and Quality of Life measurements from recent studies. Methodology This thesis is literature review. The selected studies were according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selections of recent studies were published from the year of 2000 until 2017 in English language. The following research databases were selected to identify the relevant topic: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, PEDro, and CINAHL. The parameters' results from the articles have been also selected by evaluation the statistical differences according to the P-values. Results Twenty-three articles out of 117 have been found according to inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, and outcome measures. The techniques were active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT), positive expiratory pressure (PEP), temporary of positive expiratory pressure (T-PEP), Oscillating positive expiratory pressure (O-PEP), high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO), slow expiration with glottis opened in lateral posture (ELTGOL), postural drainage, and autogenic...

The role of the paramedic in the treatment of pain in the prehospital emergency care
ŠKOLKOVÁ, Aneta
The Bachelor thesis deals with a very current and spread topic in the sphere of the pre-hospital urgent care, it concerns the issue of pain and the role of the paramedic at its treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care. Pain is one of the most frequent indications initiating the medical ambulance service intervention. It is an affiliated and really essential stressor. The task for the paramedic is to help the patient suffering from pain and to use all ways of treatment which are possible to be applied in the sphere of the pre-hospital care. Therefore it is very important for the paramedics to be well informed on the issue of analgesia and to have good theoretical knowledge and to be able to apply it in practice. The theoretical part deals with the complex issue which is related to pain and with the role of the paramedic. At the beginning of the work there are defined basic concepts concerning the wide issue of pain, i.e. its types and categories form the localization point of view. Further, there is described the basic examination and getting information from the patient which form the integral part of information and data for consequent diagnosing and its possible therapies in the pre-hospital care. Therefore there is also a detailed elaboration of evaluating scales including the children´s ones. In order to get a sight into the issue of pain treatment there is integrated the subchapter concerning the invasive and non-invasive methods in the work. Next, the attention of the work is mostly focused on defining concepts of the pre-hospital urgent care and on the competences of the paramedic which form an integral part of the knowledge of this profession. It is related to possibilities of non-pharmacology and pharmacology treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care, which the specialist can use. The practical part was focused on recording of knowledge and procedures of paramedics in the process of pain treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care. There was carried out the whole republic inquiry using the quantitative method of anonymous questionnaire form. It was designed for the medical care workers working as paramedics. All regions in the Czech Republic were contacted; however, only eleven joined the research. Upon agreement with the managers of non-medical workers the questionnaires were delivered to paramedics. There were sent out 210 questionnaires while their return was 71.43% (150). All questionnaires were included in the consequent resultant inquiry. Responding paramedics were informed on the character of the research and assured that the anonymity of their person and the provided information will be preserved. The questionnaire involved 17 questions in total and the first five questions were statistical ones. The questions were focused on knowledge of analgesia and on procedure used by paramedics in the fieldwork. Questions 2, 4, 4a, 4b, 5, 8, 8a, 10, 10a, 11 were selected in order to get information whether the responding paramedics have knowledge on the issue of analgesia an in order to get base for answering the research question. The obtained information was consequently evaluated. Each question was answered individually and then transferred into diagrams (sometimes only into charts), which show their absolute and (mostly) relative frequency of obtained answers. The stated research question was (on the basis of the above mentioned 10 questions) evaluated by means of chi quadrate test. The obtained level of significance refused the stated ideal statement and confirmed results of the research which says that the knowledge of the paramedics is insufficient. The goal of the work was to record possibilities of pain treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care by the paramedic and it was fulfilled. Statistically evaluated questionnaire inquiry and answer to the research question show that further education of paramedics as well as their accepting the complex view of the issue is absolutely necessary.

Non-pharmacological Treatment for Clients with Functional Disorders of the Motion System - the Root Joint Hypermobility
BUREŠOVÁ, Vendula
This thesis deals with research into the issues of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially with hyper-mobility of root joints. It consists of a theoretical and a practical section. The theoretical section describes the components of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on anatomy and basic kinesiology of root joints. The definitions of functional disorders, as well as a comparison with structural disorders, are also be given here. The conclusion of this section is devoted to hyper-mobility and a description of its history, aetiology, etiopathogenesis, and clinical manifestation. A classification of hyper-mobility, as well as diagnostics and differential diagnostics, are also included here. The theoretical section aims to describe the problems associated with hyper-mobility and the diagnostic difficulties. The practical section of this thesis describes the research that applied the qualitative research method. The test group consists of two women of different ages who have been diagnosed with hyper-mobility in their root joints. Their therapy took place in the rehabilitation department of the Vltava Health Centre in České Budějovice. All three patients provided their case history, underwent preliminary kinesiological analysis and verification of hyper-mobility. On the basis of this, the most effective individual therapy was designed and performed, which was originally the aim of this practical section. The therapy was verified through a final kinesiological examination which provided the grounds for the final evaluation of results.This thesis can offer a comprehensive view on the problems of hyper-mobility and the associated symptoms. It emphasises the fact that hyper-mobility should be taken into account and should not be ignored, which has often been the case up to now. The work can also serve as a source of inspiration when designing a rehabilitation plan for hyper-mobile patients.
