Cardiopulmonary resuscitation of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19
HVOZDOVSKÁ, Kristýna
This bachelor thesis was focused on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Two objectives were set to map the practices of paramedics in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during a Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Another intrinsic indicator was the multilevel risk assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic, which emphasizes increased caution and the use of possible personal protective equipment. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis was focused on the introduction to the issue of coronavirus disease, as well as on the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic.The thesis further describes what precedes the circulatory arrest and from this then further interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation are derived. The practical part of the study was conducted by qualitative research using the method of in-depth interviews with paramedics of the South Bohemia Region and the Vysočina Region. The interview included a total of 20 questions focused on the given issue. The research sample consisted of 13 respondents, 7 paramedics from the Vysočina Region and 6 paramedics from individual regional centres of the South Bohemian Region. The results were subsequently processed into eight categories and tabulated accordingly. The research part showed that the members of the individual Rescue Services have sufficient theoretical knowledge and also have enough practical experience in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did not find any visible differences in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the regions, the answers of the respondents were almost identical. The research showed that it is not the geographical distribution that matters, but that the Ambulance Services follow clearly defined methodological procedures and take care of their own safety and the safety of patients. The research part showed that the members of the individual Rescue Services have sufficient theoretical knowledge and also have enough practical experience in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did not find any visible differencesin the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the regions, the answers of the respondents were almost identical. Only in terms of decontamination were there subtle differences in the disinfectants used. Research has shown that geographical distribution does not matter, but that emergency services follow clear methodological procedures, but do not pay much attention to their own safety with regard to COVID-19.

Cardiopulmonary emergency resuscitation by the general public
SOKOLT, Jakub
The thesis focuses on the problematic of providing cardiopulmonary emergency resuscitation by general public. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with identification of sudden cardiac arrest and most common causes of it. Furthermore, it deals with emergency resuscitation, first aid principles and emergency calls. Great emphasis is placed on the recommended practices for emergency resuscitation in adults and in child with cardiac arrest. Recommended practices focus, among other things, on the speciffic situations such as airway obstruction and drowning. The last theoretical part of thesis deals with the automated external defibrillator (further AED) and its operation by lay rescuer. The empirical part pursues two objectives. The first one is to map the knowledge of cardiopulmonary emergency resuscitation in adult patients. The second objective is to map the knowledge of cardiopulmonary emergency resuscitation in child patients. For the empirical part of the thesis the qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews was chosen. The research sample was made up of 8 non-selected members of the general public in the area of South Bohemian Region and Vysočina Region. Results were then categorized into 13 categories. Results show that questioned general public has significant shortcomings in recommended Basic life support practices. All questioned informants agreed they would welcome educational programs which would increase the knowledge of Basic life support practices of lay people.

Using of an Automated External Defibrillator by Non-Medical Components of the Integrated Rescue System in the Liberec Region
GROFOVÁ, Karolína
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the using of an automated external defibrillator by non-medical components of the Integrated Rescue System in the Liberec Region within the framework of performing urgent cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The aim of this work is to evaluate the frequency, time course and results of interventions in cases of patients with sudden cardiac arrest, in which an automatic external defibrillator was used by the non-medical component of the Integrated Rescue System. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part is a systematized theoretical overview of basic information on the issue. The second part is focused on practical aspects and is created from data obtained from the basic components of the Integrated Rescue System. The data were examined by descriptive statistics methods. Based on the obtained outputs, a systematic overview of the outcomes of first responders to sudden circulatory arrest was created. This overview mainly includes data outputs focused on the frequency of activation of first responders, the time of their arrival at the scene, the success of resuscitation in the pre-hospital phase and the outcome of the patient. The information obtained was compared with the conclusions of foreign studies focused on the same area. The period for which the data were collected included the year 2017 after May 2021. At the end of the work, an evaluation of the key results is made and suggestions for further research related issues are given.

Uses of automated external defibrillators by Emergency Rescue Services.
SKLÁŘ, Michal
A new helper called automated external defibrillator has appeared to help in struggle for lifesaving by stases. Emergency rescue services in the Czech Republic started to follow the example of foreign projects in which this device is used by schooled non-specialists. The aim of the thesis is to study the usability of automated external defibrillator by integrated rescue system. The theoretical part is focused on legislative basis which determines the operational range of particular selected rescue services and the possibilities of usage in project 'FirstResponder' in South Bohemian region. This part of the thesis describes development of similar projects in other regions of the Czech Republic and compares them with the foreign ones. It explains important terms in first-aid and steps by stases. The thesis introduces automated external defibrillator as a very important element in the project 'FirstResponder'. It also specifies role of emergency medical service, its organization and activity by activation 'FirstResponder'. Last but not least it introduces application 'Záchranka' and participation of telephone operators in the project 'FirstResponder'. Methodology of work is made of unstructured and then controlled dialogues and provides information from interventions and activation of 'FirstResponder' in particular years from the beginning of the project in South Bohemian region, funding of the project, schooling of the rescue services joined as 'FirstResponder' and the social impact. The thesis reviews the numbers of interventions by particular rescue services and qualifies these interventions by observed parameters. It deals with the costs on purchase and costs connected with the usage of automated external defibrillator by particular rescue services. According to the results, it focuses on the gravity of the social impact on members of volunteer fire departments engaged in the project 'FirstResponder'.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation from the point of view of emergency medical assistance group
PRAŽÁK, Tomáš
This thesis thoroughly explores the issues that come with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which in pre-hospital care is handled by emergency medical assistance groups and of which paramedic staff are an inseparable part. These paramedics have a necessity for sufficient, in-depth knowledge and experience. Without the early and critical assistance that paramedics are able to provide, a patient could suffer from irreversible changes in health and are even at a risk of death. This bachelor's thesis is divided into a theoretical section and a research section, further exploring this incredibly important subject. The theoretical section explores the history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It also digs into the basic life support provided mainly by lay rescuers, in accordance with the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council. Furthermore, this section also contains information about advanced life support, once again in accordance with the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council, which is aimed primarily at health care professionals and particularly those who carry the title of paramedic. The research section on the other hand, is based on qualitative research based on interviews consisting of 13 questions. These questions are targeted towards a research group consisting of a group of 12 paramedics employed in the South Bohemian region. This section includes an analysis of the obtained data and their evaluation. The aim of this work is to map the awareness of paramedics about the latest suggested methods for cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council and to find out how paramedics view and handle cases of sudden circulatory arrest.

A sudden cardiac arrest and use of capnometry in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Pokorná, Milana ; Nečas, Emanuel (advisor) ; Málek, Jiří (referee) ; Bělohlávek, Jan (referee)
The study is focused on advanced life support (ALS) performed by rescue team physicians in an out-of-hospital setting. The first part of the study analyzes diagnostic possibilities and correctness of assumed aetiology of the sudden cardiac arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the field. It introduces an original method of "Crosscheck Tables" and applies this method to 211 cases of CPR provided by physicians of the Emergency Care Service. The study demonstrates that significantly misleading conclusions can result from a global analysis of a set of cases. It stresses importance of diagnostic analyses applied to individual cases. The second part of the study concentrates on changes in PETCO2 level as related to the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC - Return of Spontaneous Circulation) as opposed to the circulation fully dependent on chest compressions. The study demonstrates that in constantly ventilated patients undergoing CPR in an out-of-hospital setting, PETCO2 is significantly higher (about 10 mmHg) after ROSC than before ROSC. It demonstrates that a sudden increase in PETCO2 exceeding 10 mmHg is likely to indicate the moment of ROSC. The study also support a view that steadily low levels of PETCO2 values (<10 mmHg) indicate a low chance for a successful resuscitation outcome. Key...
