Trauma readiness of hospitals and emergency medical services of the Region
ŠKOLKOVÁ, Aneta
Trauma preparedness of medical care of a particular region represents the professional core of public health emergency preparedness. The key subjects are medical rescue service and hospital service provider. Current legislation imposes the providers of medical service with duty to work out the trauma plan which covers the system of activities used if some mass disaster happens. Topic of this diploma thesis focuses on trauma planning, specifically on mass health damage and on knowledge mapping and medical staff orientation in trauma plans and preparation on not common accidents with great number of wounded. I focused on non-medical staff of the regional emergency rescue service and the regional hospital. I focused on their knowledge and orientation in terms of trauma preparedness of the given subject. The theoretical part serves as a base for the research. It is split into chapters which deal with pre-hospital necessary care, co-operation of the integrated rescue system members and procedures of participating rescuers- mostly medical staff. I paid more attention to the terminology of mass health damage and separation of wounded at the place of an accident. I also described the subsequence of medical care at medical facilities. While searching for the level of preparedness of subjects for an uncommon accident I used the method of data comparison. There I focused on comparison of trauma plans of two subjects: the regional hospital and the regional emergency rescue service and I was researching the level of co-operation of both subjects based on the similarity of the trauma plans. In the second part I was mapping the medical staff knowledge of the trauma plan directive via quantitative research, for that purpose I used the survey. The respondents had to circle the correct answer. The questions were modified and applied to directives of both trauma plans. The respondents were non-medical workers of emergency rescue service in CB and non-medical workers of the hospital of CB. I tightened the workers of the hospital to trauma emergency staff and the resuscitation department staff. The survey consists of 28 questions. Five of it had rather an information character, they were searching for: the sex, age, years of praxis, education and a grade. The rest 23 were used for the statistic research. Those questions dealt with the theory presented in directives of both subjects. The received information I worked out in the chapter results. The comparisons of trauma plans were presented at charts. The survey was evaluated by nonparametric testing and a chi-square test of a good match.
