Automated external defibrillators in theory and practice
Burianová, Lucie ; Sojková, Monika (advisor) ; Heczková, Jana (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the treatment and importance of location Automated external defibrillators in the particular units of Integrated Rescue System. In the theoretical part I describe basic anatomy and physiology of heart, patophysiology of selected cardiac arrhythmias. The largest part is devoted to Automated external defibrillators. In the several parts I explain philosophy of defibrillators, description of instruments, indication and contraindication of use, correctly use of defibrillators, the pros and cons their use in basic life support. In this bachelor thesis I write history of defibrillation and Automated external defibrillators. I mention studies, which were performed on this topic. In the practical part the quantitative method was used in the form of anonymous questionnaires. The survey was conducted at the particular units of Integrated Rescue System.

Tissue microcirculation in cardiac arrest setting - impact of various methods of circulatory support
Krupičková, Petra ; Bělohlávek, Jan (advisor) ; Widimský, Jiří (referee) ; Rokyta, Richard (referee)
Introduction: This dissertation thesis aims to describe microcirculatory changes in cardiac arrest setting and to assess the impact of circulatory supports (i.e. mechanical chest compressions and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)) on tissue microcirculation. Methods and results: Two separate studies were designed. Microcirculation was monitored sublingually by a recent Sidestream Dark Field (SDF) technique and its parameters were evaluated offline, separately for small (of diameter ≤ 20µm) and other vessels. In order to monitor microcirculation during cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation (CPR) an experimental pig model was used; eighteen pigs were commenced to 3 minutes of untreated CA and subsequent 5 minutes of mechanical CPR. During CA the microcirculatory parameters deteriorated, in CPR they improved and reached 59 - 85 % of the prearrest values. The microcirculatory variables correlated neither to parameters of systemic circulation (mean arterial blood pressure and carotid blood flow) nor to lactate. In the second, clinical, study the sublingual microcirculation was monitored 29 (± 17) hours after the CA onset in 15 patients, who were after unsuccessful conventional CPR rescued by ECMO. In comparison to healthy (sex and age matched) volunteers, the patients showed mild but...
