Acute intoxication in prehospital emergency care

This bachelor thesis on Acute Intoxication in Pre-hospital Emergency Care is divided into twoparts: theoretical and research. The theoretical part is initially focused on the causes of acute intoxications and effects on the human organism. Most of the space is devoted to selected types of intoxication and their therapy. For the research part, Objective 1 has been set: To map the level of the theoretical knowledge of medical rescuers in connection with the providing of pre-hospital emergency care in the case of intoxicated persons. Two research questions were identified on the basis of this objective. The research question 1 is: How do the health rescuers in the care of the intoxicated patient progress from the point of view of differential diagnosis? Research Question 2: How do medical rescuers approach the treatment of the intoxicated patient from the point of view of therapy? The qualitative research method was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with 8 medical rescuers performing their profession at the Medical Rescue Service in Písek and Český Krumlov. The data obtained was divided into 12 categories. The summary of the research showed a sufficient knowledge of the clinical manifestations of selected acute intoxications presented in the practical part of this work. The other group studied was the therapy of selected acute intoxications presented in the practical part of this work. The research has shown that the knowledge of acute intoxication therapy is average. Since the appropriate knowledge of medical rescuers is necessary to manage this profession, I consider it important to examine them periodically
