Evaluation of the operation of the air handling heat recovery system for ICU
Dobrovolná, Natálie ; Jelínek, Ondřej (referee) ; Rubina, Aleš (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of heat recovery systems. In the first part the thesis deals with the types of recovery systems in general, their evaluation, possibilities of use and design. The second, computational part, of the thesis focuses on three specific variant solutions of the design suitable for clean hospital premises of the intensive care unit. The aim is to apply the theme to a specific building and evaluate the individual proposed variants in terms of indoor air quality, spatial requirements and operational economy. The last part is dedicated to experimental measurement and subsequent evaluation of the measured data of real air-conditioning system. The essence of the measurement was to evaluate the operation and verify the heat recovery efficiency of a real plate heat exchanger installed in the air-conditioning unit serving the premises of the intensive care unit.

Use of mesuring instruments in the intesive care unit and anesthesiology and resustitation department
KRIZANOVÁ, Marie
An integral part of nursing documentation consists in assessment tools that allow for the analysis of patients' needs and planning of follow-up care. The Bachelor thesis delves into the problem area of using measuring tools, with a focus on the Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation Departments (ARD) and Intensive Care Units (ICU). The theoretical part introduces the most commonly used scales in the framework of intensive medicine: scales for evaluating consciousness, falls, nutrition, self-sufficiency, risk of occurrence of decubiti or assessment of pain. The objectives of the present theses are 1. To map out the use of measuring tools at Intensive Care Units and Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation Departments 2. To map out nurses' awareness as regards the use of measuring tools at Intensive Care Units and Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation Departments The following hypotheses were formulated in order to accomplish the above objectives: 1: Nurses' approach to the use of measuring tools differs depending on their education. 2: The spectre of measuring tools used differs depending on work sites. 3: Nurses' awareness of the use of measuring tools differs depending on work sites. The research was carried out by a quantitative method. In the scope of the quantitative research, a non-standardized questionnaire was used and forwarded to heath care workers at Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation Departments and Intensive Care Units. Results of the quantitative research show that most of the respondents perceive measuring scales as an asset for nursing. Differences between the use of measuring tools at ARD and ICU are negligible. Respondents' approaches to measuring tools do not differ subject to education; respondents' replies are very similar. The thesis provides a comprehensive view of the problem area of the use of measuring tools at Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation Departments and Intensive Care Units. The Bachelor thesis may be serve in practice as a study material, whereas, for convenience of the reader, a brochure depicting the basic measuring tools was prepared.
