Chest injuries in prehospital emergency care
SOUČEK, Jan
Chest injuries are one of the very common injuries that often endanger the patient's life. Therefore, it is important to quickly determine the severity of the injury, to define further procedures, such as medication, and to ensure the most careful and fastest transport to the hospital. It is therefore important that health rescuers have the best knowledge, practical skills and awareness of possible complications, which can significantly influence the course of the injury and the state of health of the patient. Aim of this bachelor´s thesis is to map knowledge of paramedics about chest injuries in Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine (PHME) and compare rescuer´s procedures in care of patients with chest injury. Research questions are following: How different is the knowledge of medical procedures for chest injuries? What is the difference in medical procedures in chest injuries? Empirical part of the thesis is based on the qualitative survey. Semi-structured interviews with opened questions were arranged with paramedics of region Vysočina and South Bohemia. Based on the results of this work, it can be said that health rescuers have good knowledge in their field. Moderate shortcomings include uncertainty in competencies, and slight deficiencies in theoretical knowledge and awareness of the possibilities of using aids in the Ambulance car. These deficiencies may be a reflection of unified equipment, the different competencies of rescuers, and the possibilities and responsibilities to further educate and improve on the topic.
