Injuries of cyclists from the perspective of prehospital emergency care
KRBOVÁ, Petra
The popularity of everyday, both leisure and racing cycling, increases. The spectrum of accidents and injuries related to cycling extends with the increasing choice of bicycles for different types of cycling. Especially in summer months paramedics repeatedly provide prehospital emergency care to cyclists. A wide range of injuries require different intensity of treatment and care. The theoretical part is focused on a brief characteristics and descriptions of selected injuries, which are part of the research. The research was carried out by the quantitative form, by means of a questionnaire. It was distributed to paramedics in the South-Bohemian Region and in the Vysočina Region. The objective of the thesis was to assess and map the approach of paramedics to an injured cyclist, the correctness of provided care for selected injuries that are mentioned in the theoretical part from the perspective of prehospital emergency care and the evaluation of the need to pay more attention to this issue or to retain the current provided care and update only the new information and findings. The result of the research is the confirmation of all the research hypotheses. The questions testing knowledge of definitions of polytrauma and injuries were mostly answered correctly. The research questions focused on treatment and subsequent transport were also answered mostly correctly. Even though the research results were good and hypotheses were proved, it is necessary to bear in mind that cycling injuries are part of prehospital emergency care. Paramedics should be aware of current practices and continue with self-education.

Treatment of burn trauma in prehospital emergency care
HASMANOVÁ, Ilona
The number of serious thermal injuries keeps increasing. Their treatment requires fast, first-class professional, well-organized service, with an adequate material and personnel provision, capable of dealing with even a sudden occurrence of a high number of afflicted persons in one location. The treatment of such injuries requires an interdisciplinary team of cooperating professionals, including the care provided in specialized facilities. I have selected the topic of treatment of trauma caused by burns because it is highly relevant for everybody as it may afflict each person at any time. Treatment of burns in field conditions is far from easy and it has its specifics. The specific features consist in somatic aspects of nursing activities but also in mental aspects. The objective of the thesis was to summarize theoretical information about treatment of burns in the conditions of pre-hospital care and to map the knowledge and skills of paramedics working for the Emergency Medical Service. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part explains the term of pre-hospital immediate care and identifies the scope of its application and the providers of such care. The burns are presented and clearly classified based on many aspects and the thesis describes their incidence and, last but not least, also the prevention. The thesis also deals with specific features of nursing care in the conditions of pre-hospital immediate care from the viewpoint of nurses and subsequently also with the field treatment of trauma caused by burns. The practical part used quantitative research, method of inquiring with a questionnaire. The results indicate that paramedics are completely familiar with the procedures to treat trauma caused by burns, that that the cooperation between the Emergency Medical Service and specialized burns centers is sufficient and that the method of intraosseous infusion to children is not sufficiently used. This means that all of the three hypotheses have been confirmed. The results of the research suggest that more attention should be paid to treatment of burns not only in classroom but mainly in a practical part of the training. It is because burns may result in life-long consequences and their treatment in pre-hospital immediate care shall be therefore of the highest professional quality.

The evaluation of the oral health level at the patients using the care of the dental hygienist in comparison with the patients not using this type of treatment
KNOTKOVÁ, Nikola
My baccalaureate work deals with the activities of a dental hygienist, the significance of this profession for the oral health of patients and the awareness of this service among the population. The theoretical section of my work is focused on the tasks of a dental hygienist, the issues related to parodont disorders, examination methods, treatment phases and subsequent care. The practical section is based on two hypotheses. The research objective consists in the evaluation of the contribution of the dental hygienist profession as related to the dental hygiene standard. The evaluation of Hypothesis 1 was resulted from a secondary analysis of the data contained in the health records of patients visiting the practice of a dental hygienist and Hypothesis 2 was based on the evaluation of questionnaires fulfilled by patients of dental surgeries. Is has been confirmed that patients making use of the services of a dental hygienist tend to have a healthier parodont, unfortunately, only a small fraction of patients actually use them due to lack of information on this health service offer and on the significance of preventing the severe problem of parodont disorders. The primary purpose of the presented research was to incorporate its results into my baccalaureate work. Further, I intend to publish it in a journal for stomatologists, dental nurses and hygienists, simultaneously the results will serve for the internal purposes of dental surgeries.
