Crush syndrome from the perspective of the paramedic
TARAS, Ivan
The topic of the bachelor thesis is Crush syndrome from the perspective of the paramedic. In the theoretical part of the work, readers can learn what the crush syndrome is, when and in what situations it arises, what processes take place in the affected person's body, how it then manifests itself and what is its therapy. In the practical part, one goal was chosen. To map the level of awareness of non-medical medical staff about the issue of crush syndrome. A qualitative method of data collection in the form of semi-structured interviews was used to process the research set, where there were 7 main questions, on the basis of which the interviews were further developed. The research sample consisted of 12 respondents. 6 paramedics performing their service in pre-hospital emergency care and 6 members of nursing staff performing their profession in an acute care inpatient facility. The output of the bachelor's thesis is an overview that shows the awareness of the respondents about the issue of crush syndrome. It draws attention to minor shortcomings in both theoretical and practical knowledge of the issue. The work could serve as a basis for a better understanding of crush syndrome in the training of paramedics.
Crush syndrom in prehospital care
JENDŘEJASOVÁ, Tereza
The issue of the Crush syndrome in pre-hospital care is not a topic into which new findings are often brought by science workers. All the currently known and available knowledge about the Crush syndrome has not changed for decades. In part this is caused by the difficulty in pre-hospital emergency care to determine whether the condition signifies the Crush syndrome or also a hypovolemic shock resulting in kidney damage. In the Czech Republic there are neither big earthquakes, fortunately nor major landslides, and yet from time to time such an event occurs. That is why today it is more and more desirable that paramedics should be theoretically well prepared for such interventions. The purpose of this study was to survey and compare theoretical knowledge of paramedics working at the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian and the Central Bohemian regions, including the ability to utilize this knowledge in practice. In the study quantitative and qualitative research was used. The quantitative part of the research mapped, using anonymous structured questionnaires, the theoretical knowledge of paramedics working at the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian and the Central Bohemian regions in terms of the Crush syndrome issue. The results of the quantitative research have proved very good knowledge of the Crush syndrome issue in both regions and thus the hypothesis has been verified. The qualitative part of the research identified, through structured interviews with three respondents from the Central Bohemian region and three respondents from the South Bohemian region, the practical connection of theoretical knowledge directly in the field in a client with developing Crush syndrome. The knowledge was assessed as sufficient to provide quality pre-hospital emergency care. The results of this study have shown that paramedics in the South Bohemian as well as the Central Bohemian regions are well familiar with the theory for providing high-quality pre-hospital care for clients with developing Crush syndrome.
