Temperature injures in pre-hospital emergency care
PAJURKOVÁ, Romana
The content of my bachelor thesis of the title Thermic injuries in pre-hospital urgent treatment is a brief summary of this issue theory with the performed research whose task is to confirm the knowledge of medical rescuers concerning the attitude to these injuries. The theoretical part deals with certain thermal shocks ? hypertermiae, burns, hypothermiae and frostbites. In each of these conditions a simple pathophysiology, its division, symptoms, possible risks, lay (non-expert) first aid and special pre-hospital urgent treatment are described. The technique of content analyses of expert monographies as well as magazines in the electronic form were used at work with literature. The practical part deals with the research and the intention to determine the level of rescuers´ knowledge concerning this issue from the point of view of pathophysiological thermic injuries and ways of their tratment in the pre-hospital urgent care. To verify the hypotheses, the method of quantitative research was used. Data acquisition was realized through the method of questioning in an anonymous questionnaire, distributed to regional centres of health rescue service in Moravian-Silesian region. Out of the total number of 100 distributed questionnaires, 82 returned, the rate of return thus equalled 82 %. The research outcomes are stated in this thesis in form of graphs with percentage results. The hypotheses which were set at the beginning of the reserach have been confirmed. Practical skils as well as theoretical knowledge of Moravian-Silesian region rescuers respond in a high rate to expert literary sources and attitudes. Of course, even incorrect answers have appeared, however their amount has not exceeded 50 % in any of the questions. Despite this, I would like to publicize my thesis content, for example, on the Internet pages with the intention of a brief and clear acquaintance with this issue so that it could serve as a kind of instruction in case of little ignorance. Even we, paramedical workers, are only humans and make mistakes at times. Therefore I think it is important to know where to find help in case we are not completely sure.
