Infant Movement Monitor
Zahradníčková, Ludmila ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
Movement monitor is a detection device for monitoring the frequency of breathing of newborns and infants. It is usually indicated to children under the one year as a support to reduce the risk associated with sleep apnoea and Sudden Death Syndrome. The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis discusses the physiology of respiration, respiratory disorders, methods of monitoring and treatment. The aim of the technical part is to design own monitoring device for detecting and evaluating the frequency of breathing. It includes a block diagram and a wiring scheme of device and a flow chart of program, which is implemented by a microcontroller.

Multidisciplinary collaboration and the role nurse in the care of patients with sleep apnea syndrome
MATĚJKOVÁ, Naděžda
Sleep belongs to basic human needs and it is not only its length but also its quality that matters. Sleep disorders cause a lot of illnesses and therefore it is important to examine them and to treat them What are the most common symptoms of the ill state? somnolence, i. e. sleepiness during the day, disturbed or interrupted night sleep, or its lack. All these symptoms are necessary to be focused on. Sleep disorders are classified according to the International Classification of Sleep disorders ICSD 3 of 2014. This work deals with the problem theoretically. The first aim of this work was clarifying basic concepts of the problem - the syndrome called sleep apnoea. The next one was focusing on the multidisciplinary approach to the patients with this syndrome, so typical and very important. The main focus is upon the sleep apnoea syndrome, the patients suffering from it and multidisciplinary collaboration during their treatment. The main focus is upon the sleep apnoea syndrome, the patients suffering from it and multidisciplinary collaboration during their treatment. After having studied both Czech and foreign sources thouroughly, the general task of this work became summarising all the results of the research in one study . One part of this work is devoted to the detailed medical examination of sleep and its disorders. It describes polygraphic and polysomnographic tests, the procedure of the testing, the interpretation of the results, also the methods of the treatment with positive airway pressure during the sleep currently considered to be the most effective method of treatment of the adult and child patients. Next part of the work which focuses on multidisciplinary approach to the patients suffering from sleep apnoea describes surgical possibilities of the treatment within otolaryngology and methods of treatment within pulmanology. The last part of the work concentrates on the work of the nurse. It deals with the competences and further education of the nurses working for sleep laboratories. Prominent medical journals have become the key sources of information and the latest knowledge of sleep medicine.
