Rescue of people in open and frozen water for paramedics according to the methodoogy of the Water Rescue Service of Czech Red Cross.
PŘIBYL, Michal
The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to compare the preparation, procedures and equipment of the Water Rescue Service of the Czech Red Cross and units of the Fire Rescue Service when rescuing people in open and frozen water and to map the usability of the methodology for crews of the Medical Rescue Service in practical conditions. To this end, two research questions VO1 were set: "What is the preparation, procedures and equipment for rescuing people from open and frozen water according to the current methodology of the Water Rescue Service of the Czech Red Cross and units of the Fire Rescue Service?". and VO2: "What is the applicability of the methodology and processed procedures of the Water Rescue Service of the Czech Red Cross and units of the fire rescue service for paramedics?" The research part was implemented in the form of a qualitative research investigation using the semi-structured interview technique. The interviews were conducted on the basis of pre-prepared questions, in which representatives of the CČK Water Rescue Service and a unit of the Fire Rescue Service took part. The research group was made up of 5 respondents representing the ČČk Water Rescue Service and the Fire Rescue Service. The interviews took place after consent was given within the framework of the audio recording, ensuring anonymity and all information about this research work. They were then transcribed in writing. The results of the research investigation were formulated using the method of coding using the technique, "pencil and paper". The results of the objectives were mapped into 3 categories and subsequent subcategories. The output of this bachelor's thesis is a recommendation for paramedics covering the issue of drowning and rescuing an individual from ice and water, in a situation where there could be a delay in the time interval of the arrival of the components of the Integrated Rescue System of the Water Rescue Service and the Fire Rescue Service at the scene of intervention.

Šonková, Jana ; Majorová, Simona (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Summary of the Most Common Injuries Occurring on Selected Bodies of Water in the Czech Republic Objectives: The main focus of this thesis is to find out the most frequent injuries that occur on open water, including Lipno, Orlík and Slapy lakes. Methods: In this thesis I used a quantitative method of data collection, based on the documentation obtained from the Water Rescue Service website. I retrospectively obtained the total number of interventions, the number and types of accidents and the causes of accidents on selected locations in 2017. I subsequently visualized these in charts. Results: I found, that there were a total of 66 injuries registered in this reporting period. Men were injured more frequently than women however, children were the largest group at risk, due to the incidences of drowning. It was also confirmed that the most common types of injuries were wounds. In July, the accident rate was really low due to a smaller number of a campers at water reservoirs. This number is gradually decreasing with the end of the holiday season. Keywords: Injuries, the Czech Red Cross water rescue service, water rescue, first aid

Individual units of the Integrated Rescue System and preclinical intensive care in drowning - the Police of the Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service, the Water Rescue Service - Czech Red Cross
PROCHÁSKA, Pavel
The South Bohemia region is well known for its rivers, lakes and dams. With these great water values it is difficult to prevent drowning, search and rescue work is also influenced by the vast river system. The main goal of my research was to map the technical equipment, personal proficiency and comparing the professional qualifications of the Police force of the Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service and the Water Rescue Service in the range of an appointed theme. I chose the qualitative analysis method. The research group consisted of nine individuals {--} members of the researched organizations. They answered my questions very uniformly. I wanted to discuss the relevant topic with the respondents and get to know their opinion. Totally contradicted information was not recorded. Data collection was in the form of interview recordings on a Dictaphone and worked into text. The research conclusions are quite clear. In all respects the Police of the Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service and the Water Rescue Service are able to help in drowning cases. Some of these units are relatively well equipped as is necessary (the Fire Rescue Service and the Water Rescue Service), other not so well because of the principal aim (the Police of the Czech Republic). An interesting issue can be noted in both professional organizations (the Police of the Czech Republic and the Fire Rescue Service) about assistance and cooperation with the Water Rescue Service in the case of first aid and help providing. It is unusual that this last organization mentioned is not supported by the government. The research proved elementary disparity between the specialization with great abilities and struggle for existence which they meet every day in the case of the Water Rescue Service. Better legislation could be the answer for their financial difficulties. There is also disproportion in preventing people from doing unsafe activities; a member of the Water Rescue Service can only recommend the people to avoid such dangerous behaviour, but by law he can not force the individuals to obey to his words. The law warrants only this procedure which is astounding.
