Use of Mapleson C breathing system in pre-hospital care.
FILIP, Michal
The theoretical part describes the physiology of a human's respiratory tract. The next part focuses on the history of ventilation, non-invasive ventilation and its basic ventilation modes. Then it focuses on Mapleson´s systems, their advantages and disadvantages, then it focuses on Mapleson C, which is a priority for this work. Next is the instruction manual and in the last chapters we will discuss an acute situations in pre-hospital care, where Mapleson C can be used and important laws to clarify whether a paramedic can use this system or not. The practical part is processed by using a quantitative questionnaire which is completed by 38 paramedics and doctors in the South Bohemia region. The first goal of the work was to find out a knowledge about the safe use of this system. The second goal was to find out if the use of Mapleson C by a paramedic is correct with current legislation. The result of this thesis shows how high the level of information about Mapleson C system is. It shows its advantages, disadvantages and justifies why it is rarely used in practice. This work could serve as a protocol for the use of Mapleson C, which would be available to all paramedics.
