Methods of the emergency bleeding control and their use in rescue services

The theoretical part of this thesis refers to bleeding and the methods that are used to stop it. Descriptions of bleeding, physiological hemostasis, organism changes during hemorrhagic shock, methods of hemostasis, other treatment after temporary hemostasis and complications have all been included. This thesis contains well-known hemostasis methods such as the pressure bandage, but also new tools, for example the hemostatic gauze celox or newly developed tools like the Wound Stasis System. I set two goals for this research. The main goal was to find out which ways of hemostasis are used by ambulance services. The secondary goal was to compare the hemostasis equipment of the previously mentioned services. The research was done in a qualitative style. I used the managed talk method, which I addressed to 13 members of ambulance services. Each respondent belonged to a different organization from South Bohemia and South Moravia, they were all randomly chosen. Each of them answered the same 6 questions. They were asked about their training, equipment and hemostasis experiences. Furthermore, I was interested in their experience with the C-A-T equipment. The 13 subjects attending the survey are able to use all basic methods of hemostasis thanks to their training and equipment. Specifically referring to pressure on the injury, pressing pressure point, pressure bandages and tourniquets. Thanks to the equipment comparison I found out that ambulance services use the same equipment and the only differences concern the C-A-T system, the fixing pelvis belt and hemostasis gauze
