Need of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) team in hospital

In the introduction of the theoretical part of the Bachelor's thesis, we learn about the history and development of life support and we explain the role of a resuscitation team (RT). The practical part focuses on mapping of the existence and activities of resuscitation teams in seven South Bohemian hospitals in case of a necessity for advanced life support (ALS) in sudden circulatory failures (SCF) that arise in a hospital. Data collection took place in the form of questionnaires based on a guided interview of the author with randomly chosen respondents, at previously determined workplaces with the highest probability of SCF. All questioning was anonymous and both respondents and hospitals were subsequently assigned code indications. The thesis should be beneficial for acquisition of information on current state of resuscitation teams in hospitals of the South Bohemian region and on provision of qualified resuscitation care according to valid rules updated by the European Resuscitation Council in October 2015. From the results of the research part, it is evident that resuscitation teams are active in all the South Bohemian hospitals. Their activities, personnel and technological equipment correspond to a standard and they are comparable in all the hospitals. Some shortcomings that may lead to not quite as optimal CPR results were found in the initial phases in first providers on standard inpatient wards
