Author: Jiří Duda Institution: Charles University Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové Department of non-medical studies Title: Knowledge of nurses in twelve lead ECG recording Supervisor: Mgr. Jana Matulová Number of pages: 94 Number of attachments: 3 Year of defense: 2022 Keywords: ECG, cardiac physiology, nurses, knowledge of nurses, cardiology The bachelor thesis deals with the problems of correct ECG recording by nurses in the environment of a cardiology clinic. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with anatomical description of the heart, comprehensible description of creating excitation signal in the heart and its travel through cardiac conduction system. Furthermore, this part deals with all types of ECG recordings, correct ECG monitoring technique, description and differences between ECG leads, physiological ECG curve and its basic description and pathological ECG curve with the most frequent heart rhythm disorders. The empirical part examines knowledge of nurses in the correct ECG recording using non-standardized questionnaire survey.

Problems of Application of Low Molecular Weight Heparins
Vrbenská, Soňa ; Pavlíková, Pavla (advisor) ; Schützner, Jan (referee)
Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) belong to standard drugs for prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease. The use of LMWHs is clearly indicated in surgical disciplines. The nurse is responsible for proper technique and site of LMWHs administration. The author brings an overview of current knowledge in the field of LMWHs. Indications, contra-indications, dosing schemes and methods of administration are described in the theoretical section of the work. The aim of the empirical part of the work was to find out and to compare knowledge of LMWHs use in surgical nurses working in intensive care units (ICUs) and in standard wards (SWs). The acquisition of the data was based on questionnaire survay. One hundred nurses working in selected surgical departments in General Faculty Hospital in Prague during 4/2011-5/2011 period consituted experimental group, namely fifty ICUs nurses and fifty SWs nurses. The author found out that ICUs nurses have 3.79% better theoretical knowledge than SWs nurses. Furthermore, significant differences in knowledge in individual nurses were found out. Self-evaluation of nurses was incorrect in 52% of cases. Less than 25% of nurses knew proper site and method of administration of LMWHs.
