The preparedness of medical operation center of medical rescue service as a subject of critical infrastructure for electric power failure in selected regions
VAŠTOVÁ, Simona
This thesis deals and discusses about the preparedness of the medical operations centre of the medical rescue service in selected regions, which include the Pilsen Region and the South Bohemia Region, for an electrical outage. The theoretical part describes the medical emergency service, the system of its provision of pre-hospital emergency care and with a focus on the medical operations centre, critical infrastructure, including the critical infrastructure and crisis preparedness entity, and an integral part is the electricity and power outage. The research part is made by a form of controlled interviews with specialist medical emergency services who deal with the issue. Based on the data obtained from the interviews, the SWOT analysis is performed and the results are subsequently interpreted. Research has shown how prepared individual health operations centres are for power outage, and in which areas they have deficiencies. Among the pros are a higher number of self-built diesel aggregates used to deal with power cuts, as well as the delivery of diesel aggregate from the fire brigade of the region. Based on the data identified and the SWOT analysis performed, a procedure is chosen to improve the preparedness for an electrical outage and to eliminate or mitigate weaknesses and, where appropriate, eliminate certain threats. The outcome of the discussion is the presentation of shortcomings and a proposal for possible improvements that would help to improve the readiness of health operations centres. These proposals will be presented to the experts concerned.

Ability of laical public providing first aid in acute condition from point of view of paramedics
SKALICKÝ, Tomáš
This bachelor's thesis examines the issues of providing non-professional first aid in acute condition from paramedics'point of view. The bachelor's thesis is divided into a theoretical part and research part. At first, the theoretical part describes the emergency medical service, its rescue forces and types of ambulance crew in order to explain the connection between the first aid and pre-hospital emergency care. This part analyses the first aid not only from the theoretical and practical point of view, but also from a social psychological one. Then, the theoretical part also deals with anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and the first aid of six selected acute conditions. The second part is focused on the analysis of data obtained from a research survey. The research survey was conducted by a qualitative survey using as main methods a semi-structured interview and direct observation during university practice. The semi-structured interview includes 33 questions and is answered by eight paramedics that serves in the South Bohemian Region. The aim of this thesis is to find out what the range of capabilities of general public is in providing the non-professional first aid, how effective the general public is in providing the non-professional first aid and whether people are willing to help. The obtained information led to answering all research questions and fulfilling the aim of the bachelor's thesis. The results of the research evaluate non-professional public as willing enough and with sufficient abilities to provide the first aid but on the other hand the effectiveness of performed actions is considerably insufficient. The main contribution of this bachelor's thesis is the rise of awareness about the issues of the first aid provided by laical public, which could contribute to the improvement of the first aid educational method and subsequently to the improvement of providing the non-professional first aid by general public in cases of acute conditions.

Dispatch life support
VÁŇOVÁ, Petra
Dispatcher of medical operation center casts an important and significant role in the chain of survival for emergency resuscitation. Within a short time must quickly and accurately provide information from the caller, delegate a professional help to the place of an incident. Timely launch telephone-assisted resuscitation, which this thesis is about. The first goal was set to chart providing phone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation dispatchers at the regional operational center of emergency medical services. Analyze the process by which the dispatchers manage and provide instructions for conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation, whether these guidelines actually manage and provide proper instruction to all rescuers. The second goal was to explore the motivational factors MUDr. Ondřej Fraňěk, the author of a publication "The manual of medical dispatcher in operations center " who was deeply engaged in telephone-assisted resuscitation. This goal should be focused on the analysis of the story of the author and the origin of interest to the issue. The research was conducted by qualitative method of data processing. To the research part of the thesis I used to analyze six audio recordings of emergency calls from the archives of the Regional medical operation center of South Bohemia, where dispatchers recognized by the affected persons malfunction of vital signs and started the phone-assisted resuscitation. The recordings were transcribed into electronic form and analyzed. I also realized interviews with MUDr. Franěk, with MUDr. Kratochvil, head doctor of Air Rescue Service of South Bohemia and Mrs. Hornychová, deputy head of the paramedical staff of the Regional Medical Operations Centre South Region. The results of the analysis showed that most of the dispatchers is not progressing adequately in providing telephone-assisted emergency resuscitation. The second objective was not achieved because it has not been possible to obtain the data needed to evaluate the objectives. Dispatchers, after reading my thesis, you can think over this issue. Work can be an incentive for self-improvement and improvement of the results. Prospective students of paramedical staff in health service can help as a source of information.
