Prehospital treatment of patients with stroke
MACKOVÁ, Zuzana
The topic of this bachelor thesis was Prehospital treatment of patients with stroke. The theoretical part of the work dealt with the issue of stroke from the beginning of the symptoms to the diagnosis and treatment of the patient by a paramedic in prehospital emergency care. The work also includes standard conditions for the subsequent directing of the patient to a specialized medical facility and the difference between the Complex Cerebrovascular Center and the Stroke Center. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis, three goals and three research questions were set. The first goal was to map the theoretical knowledge of paramedics concerning stroke. The second goal was to map the procedure of paramedics taking treatment of a patient with a suspected stroke, and the third objective was to map the cooperation of paramedics and the Complex Cerebrovascular Center in České Budějovice. The practical part was performed using a qualitative method of semi-structured interview technique. The interview contained 22 questions. The researched group consisted of 10 paramedics from individual regional centers of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region. The results of the research were divided into 11 categories and processed into tables for better clarity. The results of the research succeeded in both, meeting the objectives of the work and answering the research questions. It was found that paramedics have sufficient and current theoretical knowledge in the field, and no major shortcomings were found. The cooperation of paramedics with the Complex Cerebrovascular Center in České Budějovice is also evaluated very positively. The research has shown that, to make an improvement, paramedics should be more consistent in measuring blood glucose levels, obtaining electrocardiographic recordings, and choosing the right venous cannula size.
