Lay resuscitation of newborns and infants awareness among mothers
Pešlová, Veronika ; Lamberská, Tereza (advisor) ; Smíšek, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of maternal awareness in the field of lay resuscitation of newborns and infants and is concveived as a theoretical-practical work. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter describes the neonatal and infant period. The next chapters present the recommended practices in neonatal and infant resuscitation according to the current 2021 Guidelines, and define the chain of survival, emergency pre-hospital care, basic and advanced life support. The fifth chapter deals with education in basic life support. The final chapters discuss sudden life-threatening episodes - apparent life-threatening event (ALTE), brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE), sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC), and last but not least, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), with emphasis on its risk factors and preventive measures. For the practical part of my bachelor's thesis, a quantitative questionnaire survey was used, which took place between 12/2022 and 2/2023 at the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Clinic of the 1st Faculty of Medicine and General University Hospital in Prague. The target group of the questionnaire survey are women after childbirth in the six-week wards. The respondents were provided with a questionnaire in paper...

Level of knowledge about cardiac arrest in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and their relatives in comparison to general population.
Křečková, Markéta ; Bělohlávek, Jan (advisor) ; Bourková, Kateřina (referee)
Providing emergency basic life support in life threatening situations is a duty of everyone. Adequate knowledge of all recommended procedures is a prerequisite for succesful management of a critical situation including identification of an emergency, activation of rescue system and provision of first help. Cardiac arrest is a significant socioeconomic burden. Survival of cardiac arrest victims depends on the underlying disease and lenght of cardiac arrest. Early CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a most important factor of potential survival. However, effectivity of CPR for longterm survival reaches only around 10%. Therefore, ongoing education of general population in all techniques of CPR is justified and necessary. Just the initiation of CPRitself increases the chances for survival 2-3 fold. But, unfortunately, this emergency help is not provided always. This work is focused on evaluation of the quality of informations on recommended procedures and activities during acute setting and provision of lay person basic life support. In a theoretical introduction I describe the history of CPR and education of general population. Empirical part provides quantitative research based on a questionnaire with 100 respondents. Respondents are divided into two groups, persons who survived cardiac arrest...
