The Work of an Operator of Emergency Medical Service
MITTNER, Viktor
This bachelor thesis mostly dealt with the activity of medical controllers as well as the issues of medical operative center in general. Many people don´t know what it is all in all. It is only undemanding sitting at the table and answering the phone for most people. I would like to point out the facts related to this profession and refuted this claim of the majority. This thesis mentions the medical operation center, its history in the Czech Republic, and it is interested in its tasks, layout and equipment. There are also mentioned the activities of emergency medical service-controllers themselves, including their education or criminal responsibility. Emphasis is also placed on the stress on medical service-controllers in the performance of this profession. A large part of the work is devoted to taking the emergency call, telephone-assisted emergency resuscitation and telephone-assisted first aid. Mapping the theoretical knowledge of medical service-controllers and finding out the individual procedures for providing the telephone-assisted resuscitation of both, adults and children, was one of the aims of this bachelor thesis. Another goal was to determine the satisfaction of service-controllers within the performance of their profession. There was performed a qualitative research using the interview technique. The interview included knowledge and satisfaction with this profession as well as the issues of telephone-assisted resuscitation of adults and children. According to the results of this survey there was found that the medical service-controllers are not sufficiently prepared to perform this profession immediately after the graduating their studies. They use the same or very similar procedures within their telephone-assisted resuscitation of an adult or child. The survey also shows they are satisfied with their job.
