The injuries of spine and spinal cord from the rescuer's point of view
ZAJÍČKOVÁ, Šárka
This bachelor thesis on "Spinal and spinal cord injuries from the perspective of a paramedic" is devided into theoretical and research part. Theoretical part is devoded to anatomy and physiology of spinal and spinal cord. Further the most common injuries of spinal and spinal cord are described in this thesis. Approximately one half of theoretical part is devoded to urgent pre-hospital care for patients with sespected spinal and spinal cord injuries. One aim for research part was define: To find out the view of paramedics on the issue of spinal and spinal cord injury. Based on this aim 3 research questions were define. The first one is: "How the paramedics investigate patients with suspected spinal and spinal cord injuries?" The second one is: "What therapeutic procedures include spinal and spinal cord injuries in pre-hospital emergency care according to pramedics?" and the third one is: "How the paramedics are being trained for spinal and spinal cord injuries?" The qualitative research to obtain necessary data was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with 12 paramedics who perform their profession at the emergency medical service in the South Bohemia. The respondents answered 16 pre-prepared questions. Written records were made with their verbal consents. Obtained data were devided into 10 categories. The research showed that paramedics have insufficient knowledge of how to investigate patients with spinal and spinal cord injuries. Respondents did not show sufficient knowledge in the therapeutic procedures. Allthough the respondents state that they are educated in the given issue I consider their awareness in the area of spinal and spinal cord injuries to be insufficient because of found deficiencies.
Performance of hospital emergency team mass take in of patients separation for small, medium and big hospitals (local, district, faculty)
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Lucie
The main objective of my work was to summarize entire information available about performance efficiency of rescue teams (hospitals) at massive reception of patients to hospitals. As a sample, the hospitals in South Bohemia were chosen, and that local, district and teaching hospitals as well. Even that each of the hospitals has their own traumatology emergency plan, you can hardly think of readiness without knowledge of the contents of the plan on the side of the individual administrators involved. In addition, the hospitals do not know accurate or theoretical numbers that would evaluate the performance efficiency of their rescue teams. I have collected the data from current operation of the hospital; from scheduled operation of the hospital under the conditions of massive reception of the likely affected; and from professional literature. Firstly, I focused on various causes of emergency or crisis situations, on classification of those, considering the place of origin, and on their sorting that is used as a base in order to activate the traumatology plan and the rescue team in the hospital. Secondly, I described the pre-hospital medical care at emergency and crisis situations that is covered by the medical rescue service within the Integrated Rescue System-i.e. the time before the traumatology is activated, and the people affected are received into the hospital. Thirdly, I worked with traumatology plans in the hospitals, explaining why they should exist in every hospital. After that, I described the traumatology plans of the individual hospitals that had been chosen as samples. (The Hospital České Budějovice a.s. is a teaching (big) hospital; the Hospital Tábor a.s. is a district hospital (medium type); the Nemocnice Prachatice a. s. is a local (i.e. small) hospital). Then, I processed the responses by head physicians in the trauma centres in the sample hospitals: I had asked questions related to their orientation and knowledge of the performance efficiency of their rescue teams and to activation of the traumatology plan of the hospital at massive reception of the affected. Finally, I confronted my results with the information in professional publications, especially in the article written by MUDr. Pavel Urbánek ``The Link-Up between the Pre-Hospital and Hospital Care in Case of Massive Disaster{\crqq}; then, I compared my results with the hospital medical care and capacity of hospitals in the Netherlands. In conclusion, I present my evaluation of the existing situation, following from the data and knowledge collected; there are proposals of my solutions as well.
