Defibrillator
Kubů, Veronika ; Rampl, Ivan (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is devided to six thematic areas. At the beginning we deal with the anatomy of the heart, as it is especially important for a good understanding of cardiac muscle activity. In the following part I summarize the heart activity in terms of both biological and of electrical activity, that occurs during its operations. Furthermore, it is necessary to analyze the potentially dangerous conditions occurring during heart aktivity and their solutions with the help of electrical discharge and without it. The most important part of the whole work is a defibrillator itself. First, I summarize the theoretical knowledge and then I focus on the design of an external defibrillator, a device intended for use by professional medical personnel or by the general public. Finally, it is important to note warnings resuting from manipulating with electrical current.

Evaluation of ECG in prehospital care
GROSSMANN, Matyáš
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of ECG evaluations in pre-hospital emergency care by a paramedic. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of a paramedic and his/her competencies, instrumentation, and anatomy of the cardiac conduction system. Furthermore, it describes the methods of ECG evaluations, types of arrhythmias and their treatment in pre-hospital emergency care. The major objective of the thesis was to map the ability of paramedics to interpret the waveforms of ECG recordings. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was based on a quantitative research investigation carried out in the form of non-standardized questionnaires. The research sample consisted of 51 paramedics from the Region of South Bohemia. The research took place from March to April 2023, with the participation in it being entirely voluntary. The collected data were subsequently analysed and compiled into graphs, which were completed with a commentary. The knowledge in interpretation of ECG waveforms was mapped by a series of 24 questions in which the respondents could obtain a total of 35 points. The high knowledge of the respondents is demonstrated by the fact that three quarters of the respondents achieved 80 percent or more correct answers. Two hypotheses were determined in the research part. The first hypothesis suggested that the knowledge in interpreting ECG waveforms is affected by the length of experience. The respondents working in emergency medical services for 0-3 years had the highest score (median 93%). However, the result of the Kruskal-Waliss test revealed no statistically significant difference between the four groups compared (p = 0.51). The second hypothesis assumed that the knowledge in interpreting ECG waveforms is influenced by the type of previous workplace. The respondents who had worked in the accident and emergency department before joining the emergency medical service were the most proficient in ECG assessment and interpretation (median 96%). Here again, the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no statistically significant difference between the four groups compared (p = 0.31). The obtained results can provide useful information for the possible implementation of an educational seminar for paramedics.

Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation in South Bohemia with a usage of a first aid on demand
ALDORFOVÁ, Lucie
In the first part of the thesis, I describe the concept of sudden cardiac arrest and also the important chain of survival. I also define the procedure for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation. Last but not least, I focus on automated external defibrillators in terms of availability in the Czech Republic and abroad. Here I also describe operating and identification of defibrillators. In the last chapter, I analyse First responders in the South Bohemian Region and abroad. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to determine the use of First responders in the South Bohemian Region, the use of public access automated external defibrillators and to determine the success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation of First responders in the South Bohemian Region using the automated external defibrillators. To achieve these aims, three research questions have been set. The research part was conducted as a qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews which consisted of fifteen questions. The research group consisted of six First responders from among the professional and volunteer firefighters, police force and members of the Mountain and Water Rescue Service. All interviews took place in April 2021. In the first phase of the research, the research requests were sent out to people in higher positions on given work places. After approval, I was provided with contacts to randomly selected First responders, with whom an interview was conducted after a contact. Due to the current pandemic situation, all interviews were conducted over a recorded call; all participants were informed about the recording and agreed. With all interviews being carried out, they were subsequently transcribed and recordings deleted. The processing and evaluation of the research followed. The research provided answers to all set objectives and addressed all research questions. It was found that the use of First responders in the South Bohemian Region is really large. At the same time it was also found that the public access automated external defibrillators do not have such a success. The research also showed that the success or failure of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation of First responders using the automated external defibrillators cannot be conclusively determined.

Heart rhythm disorders in prehospital emergency care
BUGAJ, Petr
The thesis Heart rhythm disorders in the pre-hospital emergency care is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part includes the general description of the anatomy of the heart and its function, the electrical conduction system of the heart and the electrocardiography. The following chapters of the theory are divided according to the ECG of the heart in normal sinus rhythm. The author also mentioned the classification of heart rhythm disorders, including the clinic symptomatology with the EKG pathological heart rhythm and basic therapeutic practices. The practical part of this thesis examined the knowledge of paramedic of the heart rhythm disorders in the pre-hospital emergency care. The survey has three main questions: How do the paramedics value their own knowledge in the field of heart rhythm disorders? How are the paramedics prepared to deal with these disorders? What is the practice of the paramedics when dealing with heart rhythm disorders? The survey was focused on the interviews with the paramedics from Emergency Medical Service in the south of the Czech Republic. They answered 13 questions and the data were divided into 10 categories according to the qualitative research. The results of the research show that the knowledge of the paramedic of the heart rhythm disorders needs to be improved. The author suggests preparing education trainings and regular revisions, because the right anamnesis and the following treatment is essential, especially with malign arrhythmias.

Public awareness regarding the use of automated external defibrillator in general first aid
Šilhavá, Lenka ; Eislerová, Iva (advisor) ; Novotná, Jindra (referee)
The thesis deals with the awareness of the public about how to use Automatic External Defibrillator in General first aid. In the theoretical part, I present the basic anatomical, physiological and pathophysiological information. I spent the greater part of the automatic external defibrillator, its importance, description, and recommended steps to use. The empirical part evaluates me carried out quantitative research that I carried out in the form of an anonymous questionnaire, which is located on the Internet. The questionnaire was designed for adults, which do not work in the health sector. The main objective of the research was to identify the level of awareness among the general public about the AED, intermediate objectives was to determine willingness to train laypeople about the AED and also to map sources of information that the public most searches. The results of the research I placed in the overview tables and charts. The tables contain the absolute frequency, relative frequency and the total frequency. The result is a finding that the level of awareness compared to the studies carried out in the past years increased slightly, but it cannot be regarded as satisfactory. I have noted the public interest for more information and a considerable willingness to train in spare time. Keywords:...
