The most frequent acute and critical state of childrens in prehospital emergency care
HNOJNOVÁ, Jana
This thesis is focused on conditions that directly threaten the child's life and are already addressed in pre-hospital emergency care. The most vulnerable are children from one year to eight years, so I have therefore focused on the most common conditions in this group. Pre-hospital emergency care includes not only professional first aid provided by crews of emergency medical services, as well as general first aid which is given in most cases by parents. This increases the chance of recovery or survival of the child. Not only professionals but also the general public should be able to provide first aid. The theoretical part of this thesis begins with definitions of terms seen in the title. It defines and divides pre-hospital emergency care. It also deals with a child patient in pre-hospital emergency care division of childhood and its specific characteristics that are important in the medical examination, diagnosis and treatment of paediatric patients. The chapter describes the child cardiopulmonary resuscitation basic and advanced resuscitation. The main chapter called ?the most common acute and critical conditions in children in the PNP? contains eleven states. For each state describes the symptoms and addresses the practices of non-professional first aid and specialized first aid. The practical part was focused on mapping of knowledge of practices both non-professional first aid and specialized first aid for acute conditions in children between one and eight years. Both surveys were carried out using quantitative research through questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed in paper form and sent via e-mail with a link to an electronic questionnaire in the period from May to July 2013. There were two basic sets of data collection,from parents of children from selected paediatric clinics in the district of town Tábor and from professionals working crew in the Emergency Medical Service of South Bohemia in position paramedic. Respondents were at the beginning of the questionnaire familiar with its anonymity and the nature of research. The parent´s questions 1-4 are used for more detailed mapping of the respondents. The following questions 5-12 were selected to investigate parents' knowledge of first aid in the most common acute and critical conditions in children from 1 year to 8 years in the PNP to allowing them to confirm or refute the hypothesis. The last two questions 13 and 14 are interested in respondents' own assessment. In paramedic´s questions 1-5 try to approach interviewed respondents. In questions 6-14 is tested their knowledge of first aid training and first aid in the most common acute and critical conditions in children from 1 year to 8 years in the PNP. In the last issue No. 15 paramedic assesses his / her knowledge. Both hypotheses were statistically evaluated by using the chi-square test. The resulting level of significance rejected the null hypothesis in both cases, and thus confirmed H1, which states that parents have knowledge of first aid in the most common acute and critical conditions in children from one to eight years and H2, which says that paramedics have the knowledge of first aid for the most common acute and critical conditions, the scope children from one year to eight years.
