Prehospital urgent care for patients with acute cerebral infarction indicated for thrombolytic therapy
VOKÁLKOVÁ, Martina
The topic of this bachelor thesis is prehospital emergency care for patients with acute cerebral infarction indicated for thrombolytic therapy. In the theoretical part of the thesis there are data about the actual occurrence of cerebral strokes, and there are defined terms such as medical rescue service, pre-hospital emergency care and stroke center. The following chapters describe the basic anatomy of the brain. Owing to the topic the largest part of the anatomy consists of vascular supply of the brain, which is related to the cause of cerebral vascular events. This thesis also involves the theme of cerebral vascular events, where the causes of the illness, the clinical picture and its basic distribution are described. There are also described diagnostic procedures in the following chapters. Due to the subject of the bachelor thesis, the most space is devoted to pre-hospital emergency care. Further chapters focus on how to place a patient to the appropriate healthcare facility and the follow-up treatment. The last chapters of the theoretical part mention the possible prevention of this disease. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was qualitative research. Structured managed interviews with medical rescuers of the Health Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region (ZZS JčK) and non-medical staff involved in the admission of patients to a complex cerebrovascular center ("KCC") were used for the research. There were drawn up two different interviews. The first interview was focused on mapping the knowledge of health rescuers about providing pre-hospital emergency care to patients with stroke. This interview also involved questions for the assessment of the cooperation between ZZS JčK and KCC in the Hospital České Budějovice from the point of view of medical rescuers. The second interview was drawn up for the non-medical staff of the KCC at the České Budějovice Hospital and was about the cooperation between ZZS JčK and KCC at the České Budějovice Hospital from the point of view of the KCC staff. The interviews were rewritten in the practical part and the answers were processed in tables. The research showed that ZZS JčK health rescuers have sufficient knowledge of vascular events. Furthermore, it was found, that the cooperation between ZZS JčK and KCC is evaluated by both sides positively. Research also showed that glycemia measurement is an important point of improvement for patient examination. Both variants of the interviews showed, that this value is not always measured and therefore, it can happen that a patient with hypoglycemia is brought to the KCC instead of a cesarean stroke.
