The training of paramedics for rescue operations in terrain which is difficult to access
VOTRUBOVÁ, Jitka
This thesis is focused on the topic of training of paramedics for rescue operations in terrain difficult to access. The aim of the study was to chart/evaluate/assess the training of several rescue teams from the Czech Republic and their equipment for rescue operations in terrain which is difficult to access. The thesis consists of two main parts, the theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the personality of paramedics and their assumptions for this work. For the purpose of this study, the rescue teams working in terrain which is difficult to access were chosen, namely the Air Rescue Service from Hosín - České Budějovice, Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic from Kramolín Lipno nad Vltavou, and Water Rescue Service from Dolní Vltavice. The level of training, psychology of team and communication between individual members of group were described for each team. Furthermore, the equipment used for transportation and first aid was delineated/assessed. The issue of geography was also taken into consideration. The practical part describes the methods and results of research. The qualitative method with semi-structured interviews was applied. Interviews were conducted on paramedics in their stations, There were 12 participants (11 males and 1 female) from three rescue teams with the age span from 27 to 57 years. The participants for this study were chosen on the basis of their experience. Interviews were transcribed and summarized in tables. The results of this study provide evidence of differences in level of training as well as quality/ type, of equipment between particular teams. The training of paramedics for rescue operations in terrain which is difficult to access differs between teams. This difference is mainly given by Mountain Service (see Table 5) that must also undergo physical tests and examinations in geography. There is also difference in the equipment used for work in terrain which is difficult to access predominantly in types of vehicles used. It is evident from Table 6 that the motor vehicles differ depending on the terrain where most paramedics give first aid.

Use of rope in air rescue service
TRÁZNÍK, Jan
This bachelor thesis is focused on the use of the rope suspension in the air rescue service throughout Czech Republic. In the chapter The Current State, the reader first gets acquainted with the air rescue service - its definition, history and present. He or she finds out that the air rescue service has been serving people in Czech Republic for more than 20 years and that it plays indispensable role in saving human lives nowadays. In this chapter, the reader also becomes familiar with standardized composition of the helicopter crew. Use of the rope suspension belongs to special activities of the air rescue service, which requires certain qualificatory requirements for the helicopter crew. In the context of this fact, terms air ambulance paramedic and air ambulance paramedic - swimmer are clarified in this thesis. The rope suspension is described in terms of its definition, history, equipment necessary for its installation, by means of the transport equipment applicable to the rope suspension, indication of the intervention with the rope suspension and rescue in an inaccessible terrain. Due to the fact that the rescue of persons while using the rope suspension does not belong to routine activities of air rescue services, but among special activities, all stations of the air rescue service in Czech Republic do not have the option of this kind of intervention available. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to map the situation throughout Czech Repbublic in the field of indications to the take-off, and to develop a comprehensive summary of options of the use of the air rescue services for the rescue of people in an inaccessible and hardly accessible terrain while using the rope suspension. At the same time, the goal is to find out the extent to which individual stations of the air rescue service are ready to perform this special activity. The research question of this thesis is: Are individual stations of the air rescue service in Czech Republic ready for efficient use of the rope suspension? The qualitative research was applied in this thesis. Data were obtained by a questionnaire, which was sent to representatives of all ten regional centers of the air emergency service throughout whole Czech Republic. Questions in the questionnaire were built up in order to find out, which stations of the air rescue service were active in carrying out the rescue of persons from the inaccessible terrain by using the rope suspension, how the stations were equipped for these special activities, personnel and technically, how the staff working there was selected and trained, what was the character of the terrain, where the rope suspension was most frequently used during the intervention, the frequency of interventions of the staff while using the rope suspension, how the stations were satisfied with this way of saving human lives, eventually what would they want to change. In the chapter Results, there are evaluated answers to individual questions from the questionnaire. Results of the work are processed by the data analysis and subsequent synthesis. The results revealed a level of preparedness of all ten stations of the air emergency service in Czech Republic to implement special activities, specifically the use of the rope suspension during the intervention in an inaccessible and hardly accessible terrain, eventually other options during the everyday operation. The results showed that out of the total number of ten stations, six were technically equipped, and four stations were not equipped for the transport from an inaccessible terrain while using the rope suspension. At all stations, which carry out special activities, serves specially-trained team, which has to be regularly trained.

Air Rescue Service and its coordination with the ground based rescue personnel
NOVOTNÁ, Pavla
The Air Rescue Service is now an integral part of the Emergency Medical Service in the Czech Republic. At present the number of primary interventions in which the two components have to cooperate has been increasing. As most cases are serious, life-threatening events, it is crucial for the two components to create a collaborative unit. Therefore it is necessary to ensure an excellent level of communication and cooperation between them. This can be achieved only if both partners know, employ and respect certain rules of the partner´s cooperation. In the theoretical part the thesis deals with history and activities of the Air Rescue Service and its cooperation with the ground based component. The objective of my thesis was to survey and evaluate the level of communication and cooperation between the Air Rescue Service crews, the ground based components of the Emergency Medical Service and the Emergency Command Centre. Quantitative research was conducted through the use of questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to selected Emergency Medical Service and Air Rescue Service centers in the South Bohemian region and the Vysočina region. The questionnaires were addressed only to paramedics. The outcomes of the research prove that paramedics consider the communication level and the level of cooperation between the ground based components, the Air Rescue Service and the Emergency Command Centre to be adequate. It was also found that if an error occurs in communication, in the majority of cases human failure is responsible. I hope the findings of my thesis can help paramedics get an overview of this topic, or supplement their knowledge of this issue
