Epi-no (Aniball) balon as a preventiv of birth injuries.
VACKOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor's thesis is focused on a prenatal preparation, specifically on how to prevent mother's injuries during childbirth after she used Epi-no (Aniball) during pregnancy. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is written in four chapters. The first chapter deals with all birth stages. The second chapter describes mother's birth injuries. The third chapter is focused on the episiotomy itself, and the fourth chapter discusses the prevention of mother´s birth injuries. The first goal of the thesis is to find out women's experiences with the use of Epi-no (Aniball) vaginal dilatation balloons. The second aim of the thesis is to find out the midwives' opinions on exercises with the Epi-no balloon (Aniball). Qualitative research is conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with respondents. Two research groups are identified. The first research group consists of postpartum women from the South Bohemian Region who were using vaginal dilatation balloons (VDB) during pregnancy. In the second research group are midwives who have practical experience with VDB. Due to the verbal nature of the research, the collected data were transcribed into printed form. Then the data were processed and analysed using the pencil and paper technique. In order to maintain anonymity, the mothers were randomly labelled as informants R1 to R10. Midwives were randomly identified as informants PA1 to PA6. As part of the coding of interviews with women, 1 main category and 5 subcategories were defined. By coding interviews with midwives, 1 main category and 2 subcategories were defined. Based on the stated goals of the work, two research questions are determined for the practical part. The first research question investigates what experience women have with the use of the Epi-no balloon (Aniball) in the prevention of birth injuries. The research is leadingto the conclusion that some mothers didn't know whether they were performing the exercises with the VDB correctly. On the other hand, the exercise with the balloon helped them to figure out what position is most comfortable for them when pushing the baby out and how to engage the abdominals when pushing. It also gave them self-confidence during childbirth. The second research question asked for midwives' opinions about the use of the Epi-no (Aniball) balloon. The research reveals that all midwives recommend using VBD as it is beneficial for mothers before giving birth. Most midwives mentioned the psychological effect of using VDB. By believing that pregnant women are prepared for the birth, they are more calm and relaxed in the delivery room. Midwives also reported the effect of exercise on shortening the II. delivery stage, and in some cases, they observed reduction of number and extent of birth injuries as well. The knowledge gained during the preparation of the bachelor's thesis can effectively help in prenatal preparation courses and can increase awareness of pregnant women about possible preparation for childbirth.

Physiotherapy in prevention and therapy of perineal injuries and episiotomies
Burianová, Eliška ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Havlíčková, Michaela (referee)
This bachelor's thesis summarizes the information of pelvic floor function and perineal injuries that are caused by the delivery. In the theoretical part of this thesis are described anatomical structures in the pelvic area and their changes during the pregnancy and the puerperium. The main part of the thesis is focused on possibilities of preventing the perineal injuries. There are described problems that are caused by perineal lesions and dysfunction of the pelvic floor. Options of physiotherapeutic treatment of these problems are discussed as well. The practical part of the thesis is supplemented with a case study of a pregnant patient, who was preparing to the delivery during pregnancy with the goal of preventing perineal injury. The case study is completed with anamnestic data collection and analysis of kinesiology of the patient in pregnancy and after the delivery. A therapeutic plan is a part of the case study as well. The thesis is supplemented with the results of executed questionnaire survey of 49 patients after vaginal delivery.

Technical Aspects of the Second Stage of Labor
Karbanová, Jaroslava ; Kališ, Vladimír (advisor) ; Procházka, Martin (referee) ; Záhumenský, Jozef (referee)
Obstetrical intervantion`s goal is to normalize an abnormal or pathological course of labour. In a certain case (e.g. fetal distress) this is not fully achievable. Then the goal is to accelerate the delivery without inadequate increase of risk of maternal or neonatal trauma. The aim of this dizertation thesis was to offer an up-to-date definition and to outline a proper performance of these interventions. Therefore, it was necessary to properly and timely describe the labour layout in which the accoucheur and/or the parturient happen to occurr when an intervention is to take place. It was essential to describe the quantity of perineal loading as well as to define the main vector of perineal strain and deformation. Based on the range of this deformation it was subsequently possible to adequately describe and execute some obstetrical interventions (e.g. a variety of types of episiotomy) or to evaluate a variety of modifications by means of computational modelling (e.g. manual perineal protection) that might have so tiny nuances between each other or differences that are difficult to measure because the clinical evaluation is impossible due to interindividual imprecision or very short duration of the intervention. We described the maximum strain on the perineal surface during vaginal delivery that...

Injury to women in childbirth
VODIČKOVÁ, Jana
My bachelor thesis is focused on various kinds of wounds, diagnostics, treatment and prevention of birth wounds. The theoretical part addresses in particular episiotomy since it is the most frequent wound that has been currently discussed by general public. I describe kinds, indication, treatment, nursing care and prevention of episiotomy. In the practical part I selected a quantitative research. The data were collected by means of an anonymous questionnaire designed for women after spontaneous delivery in puerperal wards in selected hospitals. I set three objectives in my thesis. The first objective was to ascertain the episiotomy rate. The second objective was to ascertain episiotomy healing and the last objective was to reveal awareness of women in respect of episiotomy care. The objectives of the thesis have been fulfilled. The first hypothesis presumed episiotomy in more than a half of the informants. This hypothesis has been confirmed. The second hypothesis presumed episiotomy healing without complications. This hypothesis was also confirmed, showing evidence of a high standard of healthcare. The last hypothesis presumed that the informants had insufficient information about episiotomy care. As the result of a positive response provided by mothers themselves, most of whom stated to be sufficiently informed about episiotomy care, this hypothesis was disproved. My thesis could serve as a suitable study material for students of midwifery. My thesis could also be beneficial for midwives working in puerperal wards and delivery rooms.
