An algorithm of care about drowning people from the perspective of paramedics
BAKULE, Petr
This bachelor thesis which is titled An algorithm of care about drowning people from the perspective of paramedics deals with the procedure in prehospital emergency care about drowning people. The procedure of rescue is meant here as an initial technical rescue of a drowning person from the water and then follow-up medical care. At the beginning of the theoretical part there is the definition of drowning and the division of drowning and getting drowned. After that there is the slightly detailed description of the pathophysiology of drowning where the processes that occur in drowning are mapped. There is also mentioned the statistics of drowning and prevention of drowning. Furthermore the material and technical equipment for the rescue of a drowning with water rescue and emergency medical services are processed. This chapter outlines the basic utilities for needs of drowning person of water rescue and emergency medical services. The described equipment is briefly defined and there are highlighted some benefits of life-saving utilities. The last part of the theoretical work is in details. I dealt there with the algorithm of care about drowning people and there is properly shown the exact procedure of rescue of drowning person from the first noticing to the post-resuscitation treatment. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to map the process of pre-hospital care of emergency medical services and water rescue from drowning and map material and technical equipment of water rescue and emergency medical services. In the research part of the thesis was used qualitative method of interviewing with prepared questions. Interviews were given by respondents from the Czech Red Cross Water Rescue Service and Emergency Medical Services from the South Bohemia. Questions were especially about the procedure of rescue of drowning person and about the equipment for rescue from drowning. Both the above-mentioned objectives of the work were done. The result is the exact procedure of pre-hospital emergency care from drowning with water rescue and emergency medical services. Then I maped material and technical equipment of water rescue and emergency medical services for needs of drowning person. This work includes two different views on the process of pre-hospital emergency care in the condition of drowning. It turned out that both rescue IRS coincides in certain procedures or in usable equipment. There were also distinct variances in procedure of rescue and the usage for the rescue of drowning people. The interviews also created recommendations for extension of the material and technical equipment for the rescue of drowning person.
Children´s drowning from the perspective of pre-hospital emergency care
SEDLÁČEK, David
Drowning, especially in children, is a relatively frequent cause of death. Statistics speak clearly. Children´s drowning is the second most frequent cause of death of children in industrialized countries. Good knowledge of the issue of drowning in children, therefore, seems to be the best way how to at least partially minimize the unfavorable statistics. But it is necessary to be aware of the child drowning specificity due to the child age. And the nursing care specifics are the subject of the thesis. The main objective was to survey the knowledge of prevention and first aid for children in the context or drowning and near-drowning on the part of adult and child public and also in the Emergency Medical Rescue Service workers. The quantitative research method through anonymous questionnaires was chosen. The research sample representing the general public was composed of staff members and pupils and students of several primary and secondary schools in České Budějovice. The research was conducted with the Emergency Medical Rescue Service workers in the regional centers of the Emergency Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemia region. The questionnaire addressed to the general public contained a set of 25 questions, the questionnaire for the Emergency Medical Rescue Service workers comprised a set of 20 questions. The research has confirmed that the general public knows the first aid basics, but does not have enough knowledge about prevention and first aid for child drowning and near-drowning. The outcomes have mainly proved unfamiliarity with principles of resuscitation for children. The research has also shown that in children in general the knowledge of prevention and first-aid provision for near-drowning or drowning only minimally depends on their age. According to the research results the Emergency Medical Rescue Service workers have adequate knowledge about prevention and first aid for drowning or near-drowning children. The obtained results suggest the need to increase training and education in issues relating to the near-drowning of children in the general public of all ages. In a limited range it would be useful to organize training on issues related to pre-hospital emergency care also for the Emergency Medical Rescue Service workers. The need of the knowledge of prevention and first aid for drowning or near-drowning is confirmed by the fact that even among the public, with which the research was conducted, several persons who had already met this problem were found.
