Blast syndrome from the perspective of paramedic
JAVORSKÁ, Andrea
The topic of this bachelor thesis is: "Blast Syndrome from the Perspective of a Paramedic". The thesis consists of a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I focus on the description of the term blast syndrome and the terms of its origin. I also describe the procedures connected to the blast syndrome in not only pre-hospital medical care but also hospital care. I believe that the first aid is equally important and therefore I mention its most crucial elements in the theoretical part of the thesis. The theoretical part also contains a description of the connection between the surroundings and the spreading of a shock wave and the impact of the shock wave on particular body organs. The goal of the bachelor thesis is to examine the knowledge of paramedics concerning blast syndrome. To achieve this goal, three research questions were set down. The research section was elaborated with the use of qualitative inquiry based on semi-structured interviews consisting of fifteen questions. The inquiry assemblage consisted of twelve paramedics. The results of the inquiry show that the paramedics have a basic knowledge of blast syndrome. The respondents were able to explain what a blast syndrome is and how it originates. They also know what injuries they may expect when responding to the patient with blast syndrome and which procedures they have to perform. The data analysis also showed an insufficient theoretical and practical training of paramedics concerning the blast syndrome provided by the employer. This bachelor thesis may serve as study material for students of the paramedic study programme; and also for paramedics already in the field, as a source of information about blast syndrome.
