This bachelor thesis topic is the pre-hospital care about the patient with spinal trauma. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate used algorithms of paramedics during the first contact. This thesis contains of theoretical and research part. Theoretical part is focused on anatomical and physiological relationships which are neccesary to understand because of complexity of spinal trauma. Detail view on anatomy of spine and spinal cord is introduced same as the mutual topographical relationships. Following that general pathophysiology of spinal trauma is briefly pointed out same as the most common causes of this injury. For complete overview thesis also contains basic diagnostical procedures and spinal trauma classification. For the pre-hospital care remains the most important part precise collecting of patient history and evaluation of situation on site. Imagine methods and clinical examination is the most important steps for final diagnostics in the hospital. But this thesis major focus is targeted on the pre-hospital care. Because of that it also mentions cooperation between integrated rescue system members and their imobilisation and transportation equipment. Research part has two goals. First one is to find out methods and algorithm used by paramedics. Second goal is to analyze their equipment. For this was used qualitative research study. Data were gathered by semistructured questionnaire and its outcomes were analyzed by method of coding. Representative sample was picked with method of snowball among paramedics of Rescue servis Vysočina. After data evaluation was found that participating paramedics are all well educated in the recent rescue guidelines for spinal trauma. Small surprise was that most of them prefer to use manual extraction methods to extraction equipment which seems to be too complicated for fast use in the field. The most prefered equipment was cervical collar and vacuum splint. Other equipment was used rarely according to specific situation. As the conclusion it can be said that methods and equipment of Rescue service Vysočina follows latest algorithms and guidelines. Yet crucial remains professional attitude, following evidence based medicine triads and personalized medicine.

The bachelor thesis deals with spinal trauma in the conditions of pre-hospital emergency care. The objektive of this work is to map out the procedure of paramedics in addressing spinal trauma in the conditions of pre-hospital emergency care. Part of the bachelor thesis is a theoretical and practical part.The theoretical part introduces the reader with the anatomy of the spine, by construction, the functions and the imposition of the spinal cord. Briefly mentioned here is the etiology of injury and the pathophysiology of traumatic injury to the spine and spinal cord. The charter will also focus on the diagnosis of spinal trauma, where anintegral part is anexact anamnesis, clinical examination and imaging methods. This section also describes the procedure of the treatment provided by the medical service and possible cooperation with members of the fire brigade in the patient with spinal trauma. The research part has two main objectives: To findout, chat is the procedure of paramedic in addressing spinal trauma in the conditions of pre-hospital emergency care. Find out what are the most frequently used utilities in the event of injuries leading to spinalinjuries. These targets are detected by the method of qualitative research. Data collection was carried out by the technice of means of semi-structured interview. The research sample consists of 10 paramedics of Medicalrescue service of the Highlands region. The investigation has found that paramedics of Medicalrescue service of the Highlands region have gaps in some aspects of spinal cord injury. Overall, the results were satisfactory.
