System of logistical support for emergencies in the Emergency Medical Service in selected regions of the Czech Republic.

The theme of my thesis is the System of logistical support for emergencies in the Emergency Medical Service in selected regions of the Czech Republic. I chose this theme mainly because of the fact that I work as a rescuer in the Emergency Medical Service of the Central Bohemian Region. In the first part of the thesis, there is specified the essential terminology which is included in the whole project. There is described the historical summary of the beginning of the Emergency Medical Service and the logistics. Other chapters concern the description of the Integrated Rescue System and the essential cooperation of its elements during the intervention. I also analyse the issue of the logistics and public health disabilities on the place of the intervention. In addition, I describe individual Emergency Medical Services in three selected regions of the Czech Republic. It included the Emergency Medical Service of the Central Bohemian Region, the Prague Emergency Medical Service and the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian Region. In chapters which deal with these Emergency Medical Services, there are expounded their forces, (medical) facilities and material support for coping with emergencies. In last chapters, I submit the summary of activities of the Ministry of Health. Furthermore, I mention activities of the allowance organization of Medical Support for the State of Emergency and also activities and roles of the Administration of State Material Reserves ? Czech Republic. Lastly, I summarize findings of the whole thesis in the chapter called ?Discussion?. I also evaluate the accomplishment of set goals and answer to scientific questions which I have already put before the formation of this thesis in the Groundwork for the thesis. In the part ?Results?, I illustrate the amount of exit positions of EMS in individual regions through the use of tables and graphs and I add an overview of the average number of exit positions and rescue teams related to the area of the territory and the number of inhabitants in the region. The aim of my thesis (was): ? to describe the state of the logistical support of the Emergency Medical Service in three selected regions of the Czech Republic (the Central Bohemian Region, Prague, the South Bohemian Region) ? to choose the most appropriate model of the logistical support for emergencies Questions of research: ? What are differences in logistical support for emergencies in the Emergency Medical Services in selected regions of the Czech Republic? ? Which aspects influence the selection of the most appropriate model? The main aim of my thesis ? to describe the state of the logistical support of the Emergency Medical Service in three selected regions of the Czech Republic ? was accomplished. I go into details in chapters 6, 7 and 8. In the chapter ?Discussion?, I described differences in logistical support and in this chapter I write that the mathematical quantification of the material support is not as important as the fact that there is a logistical planning of support for emergencies based on an analysis of risks which are the part of an emergency medical plan of concrete Emergency Medical Services in all selected regions of the Czech Republic. Each of mentioned EMS has special modules for the solution to eventual emergencies and in their usage employees are regularly schooled. In my opinion, this is the most important fact
