Pre-medical first aid for children suffering from intoxication
ROUSKOVÁ, Žaneta
The issue of this bachelor's thesis is pre-medical first aid for children with intoxication. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to chart the level of knowledge among ambulance employees in the South Bohemia and Vysočina regions of the pre-medical first aid for intoxicated children and to detect the way these health employees are educated in problems of peadiatrics outside the frame of the credit system. The theoretical part describes the obligation of education for first responders and their competence in connection with first aid. At the same time I describe the separation ofchildren's ages and the physiology of individual age groups , basic first aid, extended first aid, technical and personal. Later chapters contein the frequency of intoxication of children, it's symptoms, treatment and specifics. The research part was made by a guantitative method. The anonymous questionnaires were given out to paramedics and nurses in the South Bohemia region and Vysočina region. At the start of the bachelors thesis two hypothesis were determinated. The first hypothesis says that ambulance workers in the South Bohemia region have the same knowledge of pre-medical first aid for children with intoxication as ambulance workers in the Vysočina region. The second hypothesis claims: Ambulance workers in the South Bohemia region and in the Vysočina region have no education in the field of paediatrics outside the frame of the credit system. The first hypothesis was refuted. Knowledge of the respondents was evaluated in the field of intoxication in pediatrics by the test questions. Success of the respondents from South Bohemia region corresponds in 87 % and success in Vysočina region corresponds in 85 % in the test questions. Second hypothesis was confirmed. The 20 % of respondents argue that they are educated over the framework of the credit system in pediatrics and 80 % of respondents answered that they don't educate themselves. Bachelor thesis could contribute for students in medical specialization and also for health professionals, especially to complete the information about child intoxication field. Recommendation for personnel of emergency medical services for future graduates of medical disciplines is lifelong learning, enhance and complement their knowledge.
