Treatment of a patient with thermal injury in pre-hospital urgent care
BAYEROVÁ, Karolína
The topic of this bachelor thesis is Treatment of a patient with thermal injury in prehospital emergency care. The theoretical part informs about the basics of anatomy and physiology, division of thermal injuries, classification and evaluation of extend of burns. Other chapters are dedicated to proper treatment and direction without unnecessary prolongation, leading to an increase in chance of survival of these patients.For the empirical part of the bachelor thesis, three goals were set. First goal was to map out the knowledge of paramedics considering the issue of thermal injuries. Second goal was to map out the approach of paramedics in case of a thermal injury in an adult patient. Last goal was to map out the approach of paramedics in case of a thermal injury in a paediatric patient. The research part was carried out via qualitative method, using semi-structured interviews. The interviews consisted of fifteen questions, which were prepared in advance, and were conducted with the paramedics of the Emergency medical services of the South Bohemia region. There were also ten randomly selected paramedics involved in the research from the regional centres of the South Bohemia region, four paramedics from České Budějovice and six from Jindřichův Hradec, to be exact.The research study has shown, that paramedics are completely oriented in the given topic and have enough knowledge to provide prehospital emergency care in case of thermal injuries. We are convinced, that all the goals were fulfilled.The conclusion contains evaluation of the goals, summary of the research study and recommendations for both the paramedics and the lay public.

Care for a patient with burns in pre-hospital emergency care
VÁCLAVOVSKÝ, Zdeněk
The bachelor thesis on the topic of Care for a patient with burns in pre-hospital emergency care is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with the anatomy of the skin, its function and subsequently focused on the burns themselves, their classification, the procedure for providing both lay and urgent care. There is also the inhalation trauma, its division and therapy. Three goals were set for the bachelor thesis. The first objective was to map the knowledge of paramedics regarding the care of burn patients. The second objective was to find out the material and technical equipment suitable for the treatment of a patient with burns in the EMS vehicle. The third objective was to identify current trends in the care of a patient with burns. To achieve the results, a method of qualitative research using the technique of a semi-structured interview containing 10 open questions was used. The interview was recorded through handwritten notes. These interviews were conducted with 14 paramedics of the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian Region. From each regional centre - Strakonice, Tábor, Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Jindřichův Hradec and České Budějovice - 2 paramedics were selected. The results of the work say that the interviewed paramedics have enough knowledge in the issue of burns in pre-hospital emergency care, in which they are well oriented. At the end of the bachelor thesis, in addition to summarizing the results of the research and evaluating the fulfillment of goals, my recommendations for the current practise of paramedics are also mentioned.

Evaluation factors severity of thermal injury in children in the pre-hospital care
JEŘÁBKOVÁ, Petra
Injuries in children have been undoubtedly a threat for all parents, healthcare professionals and the children themselves for many years, but the children often do not have the possibility to even realize this threat. Just in moment too fast, they enter the turmoil of prehospital care and become patients, victims of their own play or due to the lack of attention of others, or even victims of adults. Burns or the so called thermal injuries are very common mechanisms of injuries in children. In our diploma thesis, we decided to focus on thermal injuries from the viewpoint of those who are the first to come in contact with the patients, and who must evaluate the given trauma and initiate treatment based on the evaluation. In particular, this applies to the personnel of emergency medical services, and also to the graduates of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (USB FHSS). These persons should also be the ones to be aware of how burn injuries are evaluated in children - given among others that many of them are often found in the position of healthcare personnel at children´s camps or nurse at offices of general practitioners for children and adolescents. The following hypothesis was formulated based on consultations with the professional public (MUDr. Robert Zajíček, Burn Medicine Department, University Hospital Královské Vinohrady): ?Education of healthcare personnel of emergency medical services and USB FHSS graduates is inadequate, being a potential source of errors in the provision of prehospital care?. Based on this hypothesis, objectives of the diploma thesis were set as follows: Objective 1: Determine the knowledge status and practical skills in respect of evaluating 6 essential burn factors amnog emergency medical service personnel and USB FHSS graduates. Objective 2: Develop an educational material on prehospital care in children with burns.
