Design of Handheld Pulse Oximeter
Havlíčková, Klára ; Sládek, Josef (referee) ; Zdvihalová, Markéta (advisor)
My bachelor's thesis is focused on design of a handheld pulse oximeter. Its main goal is to improve a shape, ergonomics and visual solution of nowadays handheld pulse oximeters and to innovate this part of technology, ergonomics, economics and the usage of this device on the field of outpatient and inpatient care.

Testing of Blood Oxygenation for Pilots
Kvasnička, Pavel ; Smolík, Luděk (referee) ; Drahanský, Martin (advisor)
This work investigates the measurement of blood oxygenation for pilots, which is based on noninvasively method of pulse oxymetry. This method is based on the selective light absorption in the spectrum of infrared and red light by oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. For measurement is crucial a pulse component of arterial blood, in which is measured concentration of hemoglobin to total amount of hemoglobin.

Pulse Oxymeter in LabVIEW
Synek, Josef ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
One of the most important vital functions of the human body is providing sufficient oxygen to all its parts. Oxygen in the blood binds to hemoglobin and it is transported to tissues. Oxymetry is non-invasive method for measuring the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin. Oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated have different absorption characteristics for light of different wavelengths. Therefore, pulse oxymetry transmits tissue with red and infrared light. Signal passing through the tissue is affected by the absorption properties of hemoglobin and heart pulse. These signals are measured and the ratio of their size allows us to calculate blood oxygen saturation.

Heart rate measurement using pulse oximetry on unconventional parts of the human body
Varmužová, Zdeňka ; Mrnka, Michal (referee) ; Cupal, Miroslav (advisor)
This study deals with the method of measuring heart rate using pulse oximetry. It describes the basic principles of this method for determining both heart rate and blood oxygenation. It examines the possibilities of placing the sensor on non-standard places of the human body. It also discusses the possible shortcomings of the method as well as the inaccuracies of measurements in certain places on the body and the possibilities of mounting the sensor and the use of the product in ordinary life. Later it presents the design for the heart rate measuring device used on the selected body part, that is forehead, and compares it with commercialy available products.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of special instruments
KUBAL, Lukáš
The bachelor thesis analyzes cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of special equipment related with cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pre hospital emergency care. The main study introduces practical application of special equipment and expertise experience of paramedics and nurses with use of this equipment.Theoretical section consists of two parts definition of using special instruments and description of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The first one describes specified equipment related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pre hospital emergency care and legislative standards specified for operation of emergency services in Czech Republic. The second deals with the issues of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Basic and advanced methods of urgent cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pre hospital care and updates of Guidelines from the years 2010 and 2015 related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation are also introduced here.The practical part contains transcribed interviews with professionals, which were obtained by qualitative semi-structured interviews. Paramedics, nurses and a physician at Emergency. Medical Services in South Bohemia were selected as interviewees. Altogether, six people were contacted. Interviews contained 15 questions related to the issues of practical application, interpretation of values and personal experience with special technology used in urgent emergency resuscitation.The study of this thesis shows that health care workers do not have a problem with the interpretation of data available thanks to this technology. In some cases, there is a problem with the proper use of technology or differences of opinions on the application itself among workers from different ambulance stations. It was also found that no one is happy with trainings and the amount of information provided by an employer, because all respondents look up information concerning the technology beyond their job duties. As a contribution of this work I see a brief equipment overview non medical staff use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The thesis summarizes everything from the description of basic values to actual applications of the equipment.
