The first treatment of a newborn after delivery in pre-hospital care
KOFROŇOVÁ, Erika
The bachelor's thesis discusses the treatment of a newborn after birth in pre-hospital care. In order to elaborate the bachelor's thesis, four objectives were defined. The first objective was to find out how paramedics prepare themselves for taking care of the newborn. The second objective was to record how they handle the situationS psychologically when it comes to the newborn care at fieldwork itself. Furthermore, the third objective ascertained the procedure of the newborn treatment by paramedics in pre-hospital care. Last but not least, the fourth objective was to explore the procedure of a premature newborn treatment. Four research questions were chosen for the research part of the thesis. The first research question dealt with how paramedics prepare themselves for taking care of newborns. The second research question carried out how stressful treating a newborn is for paramedics. The third research question examined the process of treating a newborn. The last research question discusses the treatment procedure in case of the premature newborn. This work highlights the importance of education and implementation of the defined procedure of the newborn treatment in pre-hospital care, as well as the implementation of the most essential interventions which leads to the correct adaptation of the newborn to the new environment. The bachelor's thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is divided into five main chapters. The first chapter deals with the legal definition of the emergency medical treatment services, pre-hospital emergency care and the profession of a paramedic itself. The competences of a paramedic as well as further educational possibilities are discussed here. In the second chapter, the issue of the childbirth is introduced alongside the labour process itself, its classification, and particular stages. It is complemented by the process of the childbirth and the treatment of the newborn in a health facility as well. The third chapter deals with the childbirth in pre-hospital care. The fourth chapter discusses the various complications that can arise during the birth. The last one describes the care of the pathological newborn and the process of a resuscitation. In the second part of the thesis a qualitative research was applied. The research sample consisted of 8 paramedics who had encountered a newborn after the birth at least once.
