ZAJÍČKOVÁ, Šárka
This bachelor thesis on "Spinal and spinal cord injuries from the perspective of a paramedic" is devided into theoretical and research part. Theoretical part is devoded to anatomy and physiology of spinal and spinal cord. Further the most common injuries of spinal and spinal cord are described in this thesis. Approximately one half of theoretical part is devoded to urgent pre-hospital care for patients with sespected spinal and spinal cord injuries. One aim for research part was define: To find out the view of paramedics on the issue of spinal and spinal cord injury. Based on this aim 3 research questions were define. The first one is: "How the paramedics investigate patients with suspected spinal and spinal cord injuries?" The second one is: "What therapeutic procedures include spinal and spinal cord injuries in pre-hospital emergency care according to pramedics?" and the third one is: "How the paramedics are being trained for spinal and spinal cord injuries?" The qualitative research to obtain necessary data was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with 12 paramedics who perform their profession at the emergency medical service in the South Bohemia. The respondents answered 16 pre-prepared questions. Written records were made with their verbal consents. Obtained data were devided into 10 categories. The research showed that paramedics have insufficient knowledge of how to investigate patients with spinal and spinal cord injuries. Respondents did not show sufficient knowledge in the therapeutic procedures. Allthough the respondents state that they are educated in the given issue I consider their awareness in the area of spinal and spinal cord injuries to be insufficient because of found deficiencies.
