This bachelor thesis was focused on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Two objectives were set to map the practices of paramedics in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during a Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Another intrinsic indicator was the multilevel risk assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic, which emphasizes increased caution and the use of possible personal protective equipment. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis was focused on the introduction to the issue of coronavirus disease, as well as on the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic.The thesis further describes what precedes the circulatory arrest and from this then further interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation are derived. The practical part of the study was conducted by qualitative research using the method of in-depth interviews with paramedics of the South Bohemia Region and the Vysočina Region. The interview included a total of 20 questions focused on the given issue. The research sample consisted of 13 respondents, 7 paramedics from the Vysočina Region and 6 paramedics from individual regional centres of the South Bohemian Region. The results were subsequently processed into eight categories and tabulated accordingly. The research part showed that the members of the individual Rescue Services have sufficient theoretical knowledge and also have enough practical experience in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did not find any visible differences in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the regions, the answers of the respondents were almost identical. The research showed that it is not the geographical distribution that matters, but that the Ambulance Services follow clearly defined methodological procedures and take care of their own safety and the safety of patients. The research part showed that the members of the individual Rescue Services have sufficient theoretical knowledge and also have enough practical experience in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did not find any visible differencesin the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the regions, the answers of the respondents were almost identical. Only in terms of decontamination were there subtle differences in the disinfectants used. Research has shown that geographical distribution does not matter, but that emergency services follow clear methodological procedures, but do not pay much attention to their own safety with regard to COVID-19. |
