Invasive provision critically ill pacient on anesthesiology and resuscitation ward

The subject and objective of this work was to observe and describe the possibilities of invasive monitoring in the anaesthesiology-resuscitation ward. Attention was focused on the research of knowledge of the types of invasive monitoring on the anesthesiology-resuscitation ward in the nursing and paramedic job positions. A comparison of knowledge of the types of invasive monitoring of these workers was realized in two selected hospitals - Jihlava Hospital, Contribution Organization and České Budějovice Hospital, a.s. To realize these objectives, it was necessary at first to study the types of invasive monitoring and theoretically to describe selected types of monitoring. After that was realized the practical qualitative research of knowledge in this area. This research was conducted by semi-structured interviews with randomly selected anesthesiology-resuscitation staff in the nursing and paramedic job positions of those hospitals. The knowledge gained from the interviews was subsequently composed in the form of tables, and on this basis the information received from both hospitals was compared with each other in the examined group of workers. The benefit of this work is the acquisition information on the knowledge of the staff of the anesthesiology and resuscitation ward in the area of invasive monitoring of critically ill patients. It has been found that the knowledge of the employees depends on what kind of invasive monitoring these staff encounter most often in the ward. Staff who work in a regional hospital have wider knowledge than the staff who work in district hospital, because workers in a regional hospital do more often and more types of invasive monitoring, than workers in district hospital
