NAS classification system in ICU nursing practice
Tichá, Denisa ; Zvoníčková, Marie (advisor) ; Zoubková, Renáta (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to create a translation of the NAS nurse workload scoring system and an instructional manual for its implementation. The translation from English to Czech, back translation and subsequent verification of the translation through a pilot study were carried out. The validation was facilitated by 6 General Nurses specialised in intensive care, with many years of experience in the field. Thanks to their help and that of other experts, we were able to produce a translation of both documents. We also took into account the recommendations we received from the nurses in these documents. We were also able to establish the time commitment involved in evaluating NAS.

The amount of morphine consumed by patients using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was compared with the amount of morphine routinely prescribed to patients as an i.v. infusion. The first group consisted of eight patients with a mean burn severity area (TBSA; %) of 32.71% who were able to actively participate in their pain management with PCA. The second group consisted of eight patients comparable by gender, age, and weight; their mean TBSA was 31.85%. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The Chorobopis software and the patient documentation archive helped to make the patients from both cohorts as similar as possible. At the time when patients from the first cohort used PCA, the amount of opioids consumed by them was monitored and recorded. The amount of opioids consumed by the...
