Design of Oxygen Concentrator
Korábová, Anežka ; Paliatka, Peter (referee) ; Sládek, Josef (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the design of an oxygen concentrator. The aim is to design an oxygen concentrator for two people with a primary focus on the hospital environment. The design is based on extensive design and technical research and user analysis. The design is distinguished by the orientation of the handling elements respecting the target environment as well as partial ergonomic aspects. The design is compact and elegant yet incorporates interesting form elements such as dynamic bevels or tension of the front surface. The main contribution of the design is an increase in aesthetic quality compared to competitors and an ergonomically innovative approach.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in intensive care
MIČKA, Lukáš
The theoretical part of work named: "Hyperbaric oxygenotherapy in intensive care" consists of chapters releated to hyperbaroxia as a method, the hyperbaric chambers and hyperbaric oxygen. For its practical part there were created 7 targets regarding intensive care. The main purpose was an investigation of experience with effects, complications and negative consequences of the therapy. A research was also released to the part of therapeutic and nursing interventions. After that we focused on specifications of work with a child in hyperbaria and specification of hyperbaric equipment. We studied also prevention against nosocomial infection and factors which could increase a risk of stress and cause making errors by staff. To fill the target it was released a quality research investigation based on indiviual semi-structured interview. The interview included 16 questions which were answered by doctors and nurses from hyperbaric clinic in Kladno and Ostrava. To complete the studies, data analysis were used from 9 patients treated in the chamber. According the results it was comfirmed that using of this method makes visible a health profile in case of some types after each exposition. The Hyperbaroxy is considered as a safe and there are not serious complications caused by treatment for the respondents. Intervention HBO in acute care is not so different from that one in ICU. The only diference is a space condition. Specific premedication and nursing in case of the child till the age of 10 years is solved by special paediatric nurse. To release HBO therapy - it is necessary for the clinic to have a special respirator and medical ventilator for hyperbaric conditions. It was confirmed a complete sterility of hyperbaric spaces caused by keeping hygienic plan in a hospital. Factors which are increasing a risk as a stress and error exist, nevertheless keeping prevention steps by staff minimalize them. The bachelor thesis should be used as an information based on a basic inquiry about treatment, education and efficiency of the treatment in the hyperbaric chamber. That can be used by patiens thinking about care with hyperbaric oxygen as well as a future medical and nursing staff studying medical or nonmedical health branches.
Level of knowledge of midwives and pediatric nurses for oxygen therapy in neonates and infants
JIRÁKOVÁ, Nikol
Abstract The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on oxygen therapy of mature and premature newborns, particularly as a part of resuscitation. The thesis summarizes general findings about postpartum adaptation of individual groups of newborns and about immediate care provided in the delivery room. The theoretical part also deals with a nursing care of newborns and young babies requiring ventilation support in the hospital neonatology ward. The practical part surveyed both theoretical knowledge and practical skills of pediatric nurses and midwives. The survey used quantitative inquiry and observation. Anonymous questionnaires were distributed to midwives and pediatric nurses working at the gynecology-obstetrics and neonatology wards in the hospitals in České Budějovice (Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s.) and in Benešov (Nemocnice Rudolfa a Stefanie Benešov, a.s.) The observation was conducted during my practice at the neonatology ward in the hospital in České Budějovice. The thesis had one formulated objective and two related hypotheses. The objective was to determine the level of knowledge of midwives and pediatric nurses about the principles of treatment of newborns and young babies with oxygen. The objective has been met. Hypothesis 1: ?I believe that the level of knowledge of midwives and pediatric nurses about the oxygen treatment of newborns and young babies is sufficient? has been confirmed. Hypothesis 2: ?The nursing team in the delivery room is familiar with the current recommendations for application of oxygen during resuscitation of newborns in the delivery room? has been confirmed. This bachelor degree thesis may serve to future students of midwife profession as a study material and source of information. Moreover, the thesis might be used as an educational material for midwives and pediatric nurses working in delivery rooms and at neonatology in-patient wards.
