Craniocerebral injuries in motorbikers
 HEJNOVÁ, Anna
This thesis focuses on the craniocerebral injuries in motorcyclists. It is divided into a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part I have described the anatomy of the human skull and the brain. I have also described the mechanics of injuries on a one track vehicle and the most common types of craniocerebral injuries which are the focus of my thesis. The last chapter focuses on the immediate care necessary in patients that have suffered cranial trauma. The practical part of my paper contains excerpts of interviews conducted at random with members of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Services. In this part of my thesis I focused on two goals. The first was to map out the knowledge of emergency workers which are not doctors regarding cranial cerebral injuries. The second was to find out their procedures in treating cranial trauma patients injured on motorcycles. This way I was able to map out the procedures used by non-medical emergency personnel when treating a motorcycle accident patient with craniocerebral injuries. To reach my conclusions I used a highly effective research method in which I questioned 10 informants in the form of a semistructured interview. The results of the interviews point to the fact that the non-medical emergency professionals have the theoretical knowledge of craniocerebral injuries and were able to name the particular symptoms and complications associated with them. However some of them were confused about some specifics. They were able to name the different types of these injuries. When it came to being able to name and identify the different types of helmets available most admitted that they weren't well informed. When it came to helmet removal the results were positive pointing to their awareness of the correct procedure. They also proved to be skilled in the placement of a neck brace/collar. When asked about therapy their answers were mostly chaotic.
