Zdobinská, Nela ; Dvořáčková, Dominika (advisor) ; Sárazová, Daniela (referee)
Title: A case study of physiotherapeutic treatment of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to pneumonia combined with pulmonary oedema. Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the problematics of respiratory diseases including anatomical context, the possibilities of treatment and rehabilitation based on EBM. The practical part concerns case report of the patient diagnosed with acute respiratory failure due to pneumonia combined with pulmonary oedema. Methods: The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part consists of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the respiratory system, introduction to the problem of acute respiratory failure, pneumonia and pulmonary oedema, as well as the most commonly used physiotherapeutic methods used to treat patients with this condition. The practical part is a case study of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to pneumonia combined with pulmonary oedema. The elaboration of the case study was made during continuous professional practice in Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague, in the period from 10 January 2022 to 4 February 2022 under the expert guidance of Mgr. Daniela Sárazová and Bc. Robert Charvát. The bachelor thesis includes kinesiological...

The case study of physiotherapeutic treatment of a patient after acute respiratory failure caused by Legionella pneumonia
Dvorská, Veronika ; Heřmánková, Barbora (advisor) ; Charvát, Robert (referee)
Title: The case study of physiotherapeutic treatment of a patient after acute respiratory failure caused by Legionella pneumonia. Objectives: This work aimed to summarize general pieces of information about the respiratory system, Legionella pneumonia, and acute respiratory failure and perform a case study of a patient with this condition. Methods: This thesis is divided into general and practical parts. The general part covers anatomical, physiological, and pathophysiological facts about the respiratory system, issues associated with Legionella pneumonia and acute respiratory failure, as well as physiotherapeutic methods used to treat patients with this condition. The practical part is a case study of a patient who experienced acute respiratory failure cause by Legionella pneumophila. All physiotherapy methods used were regularly recorded. The case study was carried out during a 4-week internship at the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine between January and February 2021. Results: At the beginning of the treatment, the patient was in a medically induced coma connected to breathing assistance. However, his condition soon began to improve. The most significant results were achieved in terms of mobility and physical ability of the patient. Furthermore, the muscle strength and the...

Case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19.
Švorcová, Barbora ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (advisor) ; Charvát, Robert (referee)
Title: Case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Author: Barbora Švorcová Head of the thesis: Mgr. Svatava Neuwirthová Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to summarize the current theoretical knowledge about human respiratory system, COVID-19, acute respiratory failure and general physiotherapy methods used in patients who have undergone these diseases. The other aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe a case study of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Methods: The bachelor thesis was written based on a continuous physiotherapeutic internship at the Institute of clinical and experimental medicine in Prague at the department of KARIP, which took place between 18th January 2021 and 12th February 2021. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and special part. Theoretical part contains information about anatomy of human respiratory system, physiology of breathing, COVID-19, acute respiratory failure and presents general physiotherapy methods used in patients afflicted by these diseases depending on their condition. Special part describes a case study of a patient after acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19, including a description of therapeutic units and evaluation of the effect of...

Nursing care of patients with acute respiratory failure
NĚMCOVÁ, Kateřina
Acute respiratory failure is a state when the respiratory tract suddenly is not able to carry out its functions. The disorder can be both at the inflow of the air into the respiratory tract or at the point of the gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood. The most severe form of acute respiratory failure is the acute respiratory distress syndrome-ARDS. It is necessary to treat acute respiratory failure immediately when it appears because it can cause serious damage to the organism or death. The treatment requires securing the respiratory pathway. A theoretical knowledge of the possible causes of the origin and development of ARDS, and its treatment using artificial pulmonary ventilation helps to correctly understand the problems of this illness. Nursing care is essential while treating severe respiratory failure. The care is highly specialized in this case. The nurses participate in the securing of respiratory pathway, beginning and progress of artificial pulmonary ventilation and the process of weaning of mechanical ventilation. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to determine the basic terms and issues of acute respiratory failure. This is necessary to properly understand the case and the subsequent treatment of respiratory failure with mechanical ventilation. The study deals with defining and comparing particular guidelines of the complex nursing care of the patients with acute respiratory failure. This project was defined because of the continual development and improvement of the care of critical status patients. This thesis, entitled "Nursing Care of Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure," expounds on its topic only as a theoretical work based on both Czech and international scientific resources. Knowledge of particular parts of the thesis was obtained from various scientific and professional books, magazines and Internet resources of professional associations. The Czech authors most frequently cited are MUDr. Pavel Dostál PhD. MBA, who is focused on the issue of artificial pulmonary ventilation, and MUDr. Bronislav Stibor, who is dedicated chiefly to ARDS and revitalizing methods. Based on the studied literature, basic theoretical terms and issues were expounded concerning acute respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Particularly emphasized was the artificial pulmonary ventilation. The theoretical part gradually joins the part dealing nursing care of those patients suffering from acute respiratory failure. The part contains every guideline concerning the most recent developments and the latest innovations in the field of nursing of the critically ill. After studying the scientific sources, it was concluded that there were some differences regarding each authors´ guidelines. The guidelines differed from each other only slightly. Each guideline is mentioned in the thesis and analyzed at the end of the thesis. There is a comparison of competences of general nurses and specialized nurses for intensive care. According to Czech law, the patients with the failure of a vital function should be treated by specialized nurses. The range of permitted treatment attended by an intensive care nurse is plentiful when compared to general nurses. If the only one student carried out one of the proposed guidelines from my thesis and was able to use them at work, she or he would help to improve the complex treatment at intensive care units and my study would fulfil its propose.
