Prehospital emergency care in neurotraumas

The Bachelor thesis is focused on the topic of Prehospital emergency care in neurotraumas, especially on the approach of paramedics and their knowledge about Prehospital emergency care in neurotraumas. Globally, for children and adults to 45 aged, neurotrauma could be placed in the highest position of death causes. This statistic testifies about the importance of the professional and early intervention in prehospital emergency care. In the thesis qualitative research was used and two purposes and questions were defined. The method used was a semi-structured interview with paramedics in Vysočina Region and South Bohemian Region. The first aim of the thesis was to chart knowledge and approaches of paramedics in Prehospital emergency care and the second aim was comparison of the previous aim in Regions mentioned above. From the outcome of my research results that paramedics are not qualified enough and they lack information about Prehospital emergency care. In interviews, information mentioned was incomplete and their approaches were inconclusive. However, it was detected that approaches used in both regions are nearly identical. In Vysočina Region, cooperation with workplaces of the follow-up hospital care is really difficult. This fact could be considered as a side result of the thesis. The workplaces mentioned are mainly traumacentres with neurosurgery workplace accessible 24 hours per day. To sum it up for the further use in practice, the educational system of paramedics is inadequate and improvement would be highly recommended
